My friend Alan Fanning made me the perfect tool for that job.  He took a 5mm 
allen wrench and cut off the short part of the L.  Then he jammed it into a 
1/4" drive socket.  You feed it in through the snakes, pop a ratchet on the 
end, and you're good.

The total length of the tool is 5-5/8".

Anybody have any tips for replacing the IAB without actually taking the
intake all the way off?  Specifically the lower screw.  I pulled the codes
on what I thought was going to turn out to be a crank sensor problem, and
got a 551, IAC issue.  Whew!  So I bought a new one yesterday, but forgot
what a PITA they are to replace.  The last time I had my intake off, when I
replaced plugs and plug well seals, I slotted the lower ear on the IAB so I
didn't have to take the screw all the way out.  But I can't get in there to
even loosen it up.  My combination of extensions was just a little bit too
long.  I had the intake loose and propped up a little, but I was running out
of daylight and so I just put it back together.

Anybody have a good way of getting at it?
