Access problem - brake line hold down screws - Help
I've got everything out of the car pertaining to the brake system except for two of the 1/2" screws holding the line that runs from the proportioning valve to the rear block. There are 2 lines held by a series of clips and 1/2" screws. The ones I can't get to are the screw just toward the rear of the car from the proportioning valve and the last screw before the block where the lines bend upward on the frame. Screws probably aren't stuck, I just have an access problem. Looks like I need to remove the floor pans?? I feel like I am making this harder than it should be...
How has everyone else gotten these 2 out? I'm dreading putting these back in too

I bought a 1/2" six-point socket and ground two flats on the drive end so I could fit a 1/2" open end wrench. This combination gave me just enough clearance to get these screws and the ones on the fuel lines that run up the side.
