36' door hinge bolts. where it bolts to the jamb, how are you guys getting that one bolt at the bottom. you know the one,
do you cut a socket down? i drilled out the driver side, so it's out.

but i started wondering if there was a trick to it. to be clear, it's the lower bolt that's all by itself. not the two that are stacked or aligned one on top of the other. there's no room in there, and if it falls. . .really hard to get it out.

I can remember using a deepwell 1/4" drive socket and handle to weasel up in there. It wasn't real easy and you can't see a thing, but it worked for me.
