You might be able to use a u-joint or short extension to get in there but if you can't figure it out with what's in your toolbox, I'd suggest going ahead an cutting down a socket as it only take about five minutes to do so.

To search for a short term, place a plus sign in from of the term and an asterisk after:
+bar*
