Deore front derailer cable stay hex nut access
The cable stay hex nut is on the inside facing the actual derailer. There is no room to put a standard hex wrench on to it to adjust the cable. Seems like a terrible design. Any familiarity with this model. Is there a special extra short hex wrench for this. I checked at Shimano for this tool but they show nothing. Any help with this problem would be great. Thanks !!!

Try unhooking the chain from the ring and pulling the derailleur out far eough to get at the bolt. Make sure your limit screws are adjusted for the travel yuou want and take up the slack. You can use the cable adjuster on the shifter to tighten it or loosen it as necessary. Make sure the adjuster has enough to go in the direction you need. I don't know which model Diore you are talking about so this is the best advice I can give you.
