Can anybody describe a good procedure and tools/special sockets for tightening the head bolt #10( short bolt close to the firewall) to the specified torque?

I had all the bolts torqued to 20Nm first then 90 degrees but for the last 90 I can't really apply that much force to this specific bolt and don't want to end up with a rounded head bolt..
I torqued the #10 and no problems so far.
Using:
1 short craftman hexagonal socket
1 u joint
1 4" extension
1 Torque Wrench
I used the firewall to support the u joint and the extencion for tightening the head bolt .

Good luck
