Default Induction Module Removal

I have a 2008 Fat Bob and I'm trying to remove the induction module. I've got the fuel tank off and I cut down a 1/4" hex wrench but I'm still not able to get decent access to the four hex bolts securing the module to the cylinder heads. I checked the factory service manual and it says "Remove bolts". Does anyone have any tips, tools or tricks to share?
Thank you for your comments.

Maybe try a ball end hex wrench. They work great for reaching into areas of limited access.
With the ball end the wrench doesn’t have to be aligned straight with the allen bolt.

What other work are you going to do? I've found it's alot easier to get those bolts with rocker covers off...just gives you a little bit of extra room to get a good angle on the wrench. Some kroil or something like it sprayed on those bolts ahead of time will help too.

When I removed the module on my 05 a few years back I think I cut down a Allen wrench to about 3/4” long. No bend at all to it, just a straight shank. Then you can put that into the bolt and turn it out with a 1/4” wrench. Slow going but it works
