Jeff,
Regarding the bolts holding the whole bracket, the wrench would have to move from inside toward outside of the coach ( 90 degrees to the axis of the coach). There is no space for this since the only access is parallel to the axis of the coach. Also, to do this you'd need an electeric wrench, which has a 20" neck.
Regarding the use of a screwdriver on the latch, the latch does not releasebwith pressure on the locking arm. I opened the bay next to it, closed the latch and tried that to see if that's an alternate method. No bueno.
The rain slowed down, so I'm gonna get ready to go.........
