2022 RK Special here. I plan to vent my trans cover similar way Trask does theirs. There are 2 bolts that are so close to cylinder base and I dont know which tool to use. It will probably be small ratchet but any tips would help.
I did mine a couple weeks ago, mostly used allen wrenches or a 1/4" ratchet and socket, and on the 2 that are a pain because of the rear cylinder I was able to use the right size bit for a screwdriver and a small ratchet wrench that fit the bit, to turn the bit with... same idea as what Gary posted above, as long as the ratcheting box-end isn't too thick to fit in there. Really it just took patience because its tight getting to some of the bolts and you're not going to get much of a turn, and the bit wants to fall out... but it's very doable, slow and steady.
I bought this same socket kit at Lowes around Christmas last year.
It is a handy little kit but way overpriced on Amazon. I think I gave around $17 for it.
