Chris,


For things like that I use Craftsman impact grade (not the standard
ones) "Bolt-outs".  The standard ones require that you turn them with a
wrench on the outside whereas the impact grade types have a 3/8" square
drive and will accept ratchets and extensions.


The impact grade or even the power bolt-outs allow reaching into that
"Cage" to remove messed up Allen heads.
