Default Battery holddown?

What's the best way to get at it?

Open end wrench, get it on, turn it, flip the wrench, turn again, till it's finger loose? Nope, can't get enough to flip...

'94, holddown under the fuse box, backside of battery...

Can you get to it with a socket and a universal? Use a long extension (12" maybe) with the universal and socket.

Other way is to remove the side gill panel and it would be easy to get to.

Thanks!

I was able to get an extension between the fuse box and the foam wrap around the battery. Foam didn't even shred.
