Default special tool req'd to remove main cap bolts?

My 454 has windage tray supported by stand-offs from extra-long main bearing cap bolts on caps 3, 4, and 5. A deep socket isn't deep enough. I've never seen extra-deep sockets before??? Help. :)

mine is the same way on my smallblock,i found a 1/2 "drive snap on socket to fit it was an older one i found in my box....hope that helps... getting them off is no big deal with a wrench but torqueing them is a different story.
