I am changing the fuel rail pressure sensor on a isn 6.7 in a 2012 Thomas c2.. I got the sensor out and the new one in but can’t get a torque wrench in there to tighten it to 78 foot pounds. I can’t get enough leverage to do it from the engine side. I looked at the dog house and it looks nasty to remove, or is there a better way of getting it torqued. Any suggestions that do no include gasoline and fire?
never torqued one , just red faced it in, but if I had too , i would use a crows foot with an extension to bring the torque wrench out from under the cowl

I thought about crows foot but the rear injector line is routed right above the sensor. Tried the brute force route but could not get enough pressure on the ratchet. Finally got the impact gun and gave it a couple of short bursts. Running now at full pressure 24000 and no leaks. For the next one I will remove the rear injector line and use a crows foot on it.I found with searching that the injector lines are reusable. Definitely a 6 beer job…
