Thank you for the advice! This would've worked perfect, however VW/Audi top nuts go into a recessed area where the crow foot won't grip it. They have to make it more complicated as usual. Makes you appreciate how simple the BRZ is to work on. I tried asking for help on a VW forum before here, but you have to wait a certain amount of time after creating an account before you can post.

Going to harbor freight tomorrow, hoping to find a pass through wrench that will allow a 10mm deep socket to pass though, and we should be good if so!
