Driver side front body mount

What’s the secret to taking this off? It’s a pretty tight squeeze in there. Last bolt remaining before I can lift the body off.

I’m thinking cordless impact ratchet might be a big help.

It's not fun. I successfully removed and re-installed using a very long stack of 1/2" extensions and my electric impact gun going down from the top.

Probably the worst piece to take off when removing the body. But easy the second time I’d ever have to do it.
Interesting, I heard that back some time ago too. I couldn’t get it with extensions on my truck. Couldn’t make the angle. I got it out slowly but without much trouble using wrench on bottom nut and ratchet on top through dog house engine opening.
