Snap on makes a real long torx socket. This works real well.
The Sears Torx set is very fragile.

No need to remove the fuel pressure regulator.

Use a long extension and slip it in from the pass side.

Vic'89 is right; I just this PM put mine back and a long 3/8" extension with a thin body Torx and a swivel works fine.
