yeah.... a thin wall 12 point deep socket thats what i used.... and you have to make sure the cams are turned so you can get a socket in there.

are you using craftsman? yea they make their sockets thcker than f*(&(n sh*% i had to have a deep socket put on a lathe in order to fit a dsm head and if you are having issues with the thickness look inside of the socket too, when i did it as it tightened and went deeper onto the stud the inside wall on the socket actually got narrower and got caught on the top of the stud. thus keeping hte socket from fully seating on the nut and getting caught on the stud while i stood on the ratchet pushing it down grinding down the stud. if this happens just take your socket to machine shop, have it lathed to a thin wall, and if its the kind that narrows the deeper you go into the middle of the socket have it drilled out so it doesnt hit the top of the stud.
