Reinforcement Plate Bolts: Are they really $16 each?

[bcredliner]

I've always been able to get a thin open end, a box wrench or a couple of fingers on the nuts and do the same to install the bolts. I use a ratchet on the bolt side. It's one of those tasks that I take a bunch of wrenches under the X5 but I always have to go back to my tool box for the right one. Before I start I say-- this to will pass.

16MM socket, or wrench will fit the nut.

Not about the size, it is one of those tasks because not every wrench will fit in the tight spaces and I seldom have the right one with me the first time. It is one of those DIY will happen if you are under the vehicle.
