Coolant Bleed Screw Access?

Anyone got a trick to get at the coolant bleed screw way down under the MAP sensor bracket? It's just about hidden from view.

1/4" drive loooooooooong wobble extension and 8mm socket. You only have to turn it a bit before coolant will flow(leave expansion tank cap off while bleeding of course).

Thanks, Jeremy. with my luck, I better use some tape around the socket. I hate trying to find stuff like that in the engine compartment.
