How To Get Enough Room Under 2014 Ram 2500 To Install Fifth Wheel Bracket On Passenger Side

Question:

Passenger side rear rail front bolt, how do you torque it? There is no way to fit a ratchet in there not alone a torque wrench! Its the last step to complete my install and would appreciate any advice to get that bolt tight and torqued! Thanks!

I have attached a link to an installation video for the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, part # C16427-204 on a 2014 Ram 2500 you can check out.

At about the 1 minute 25 second point in the video the exhaust is removed so make room for installation of the kit. At about the 10-1/2 minute mark the video shows how the installation of the rear bracket on the passenger side looks when being installed. With the exhaust being removed you can see how much easier it is to access the area to tighten and torque the bolts.
