Downpipe bolt removal help please
What a wasted day today has been!
I set out this morning to replace a few parts for a remap in a couple of weeks. I needed to change the turbo and a few other bits and bobs.
I have removed all but one of the bolts holding the downpipe to the turbo, however, try as I might, I just cannot reach one bolt, either from on top or under the car.
The bolt seems to be towards the center of the downpipe, from underneath the sub frame and what I think is the steering rack are in the way.
I cant seem to be able to squeeze neither a rachet spanner or a rachet and extension in, one extension is the right legnth but then its too long to sit on the bolt.
Guys could you please advise as to how I can get this last remaining bitch of a bolt out please?

managed to get the last bolt off the turbo, does anybody know how to get the exhaust bolts with the springs off?
Ive been trying for hours now and both my arms are absolutley aching, both the nut and bolts are spinning, but no sign of them coming off.
