Default Fuel Tank Removal for 98 Ram Van

I need to replace the fuel pump in a 98 Dodge Ram Van with a 35 gal side tank. The problem is trying to remove the tank strap nuts, their studs are like 6"-8" long, too long for my deep well sockets and theirs not enough room for a wrecth,
Question: is their a specialtool needed to remove the tank bolts? any ideas on removing the will be helpful. Thanks

Thank youfor your time and help, I thought about thatuntill I found something that might work better, Harbor Freight has a set ofGO-THRU SOCKETS that will allow the stud to go thru the socket and ractchet end. Hopfully that will work.

The extension in their set is only 3" long. Will that be enough length to get you in there?

(Keep it clean guys!)
