the torque settings on a clutch aren't too high anyway 
you might get away with it if you just tightened them

You might (and it's a big might though) be able to get a spanner on the clutch cover bolts either through a vent hole or the clutch arm hole.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.
