an offset wrench works.
Ive also had success in the past with a socket (similar to a sparkplug socket) that has the hex at the top and use a wrench on the socket and the allen through the top of the socket.

WRENCH. it's impact wrench.
Unless you're a cowboy, leave the ranch for horse's and salad. |
