Small block middle head bolt access solution

Once you get to 1.650 springs it gets sketchy. Then you get heads like the 18* Chevy stuff and there is no way to do it but pull the springs.
My standard craftsman deep socket measures 1.020 diameter.
My new 12 point husky at the largest diameter measures .865 diameter. My springs measure 1.550 od. A 1.650 spring is .050 per side bigger x2 for two springs is .100 less room. Difference between the socket diameters is .155 thou. By my math this socket would clear a 1.650 spring as well. I guess it would depend on socket and the spring but this husky socket is pretty small diameter. Ymmv.
