I'd bet that a 5/8" offset distributor wrench would work on that 15mm bolt... if not, maybe a crow-foot socket on an extension?

A 9/16 distributor wrench, a grinder, a file and I'd have been in business...except my files were too wide, my grinder was elsewhere, and my machinist pal down the street had gone home. Oh, and Sears was out of 15MM crow's feet attachments. Trust me, I looked. But a Craftman 15 MM Universal socket/12"extension, (not a socket/universal joint/extension) worked just dandy.
Update: Just returned from the trip from Seattle to Bakersfield, CA and back. 2270 miles. Haven't figured out the milage yet, but for having one day from firing up the conversion to hittoing the road and driving 1100 miles, everything went pretty doggone well. A couple exhaust leaks (retightening bolts and nuts worked wonders), do NOT overfill the auto trans and drive 85 MPH... it'll puke the fluid out all over the exhaust! Smoke everywhere. Looks pretty bad threading the 99 between semi trucks...still have an issue with the TPS (trans position sensor), as 4th gear (OD) can only be achieved by moving the shifter between D and Neutral, and holding your mouth just right.It's just too tight in between the exhaust & torsion bars to get into and adjust without jackstands or a lift... I did drive up on a curb Friday AM and managed to get it a bit better. But there was a ton of rain, too, and that kept me out from under.
Used some oil, but I may have underfilled at the start, so it may be a non issue.
Anybody got some 4:10's for a 91 Trooper they want to get rid of? I need higher gears... maybe a set of chevy truck wheels with 265 or 275/75/16's or 17's.
