182 fuel rail guard removal?

[NCC-74656]

ok so I know how to get it off but its a bit tricky. I have a few different socket /wrench and ones with long reach but don't seem to have anything thats a good fit. Is there a special tool for this or a particular one anyone would recommend? Occurs to me if i don't get the nut out in one go its forever stuck and unreachable as well. Just need it outta the way so can get oil filter changed. ta for any help.

It's 10mm. I have this socket and it fits perfectly:

Yeah its a bit fiddly, just dont drop them once you have got them "held" in the socket as you pull them out.

Took mine off this weekend as it was loose and rattling - found out there was only one nut holding it on which was loose. I had the front bumper and the slam panel off at the time which made it much easier to shine a torch into the holes and see what was going on

If you use a 10mm socket and a small extension on a 1/4" drive you can get your hands in there to remove it without needing to remove anything else.
