Default How to get bellhousing bolt out?

Hi, I have a 94 Trans am and i have all the bellhousing bolts out except one which i can't seem to figure out how to get anything to work on it.
Here is the Pattern

0 0

X 0

0 0
( second one up on the drivers side)
The one with the X is the one i can't seem to get, the chassis is just to close to the bolt. Anyone else have this problem?

i dont think so, the passenger side header was hitting the bell housing, but i loosened that up but the area it is in just seems to tight. Very frustrating since its the last bolt also.

i thought about a ratcheting wrench with a bendy handle, that's about all i haven't tried yet. Its the second one up on the drivers side, or the middle one of the three on the drivers side. i have swivels and i bought a 14 mm swivel socket last night, it worked for some but the socket just ends up hitting the chassis, i think when i get the tranny out im gonna see if i can dent it up to make more room cause this is a real f*cker!!!! all i got to fit so far was a open end wrench but when i start torquing it, it just starts to slip. I dont know if its just my car twisted up a bit or if this is how they are all designed?

Only bolt I ever have trouble getting to is the one on the very top on the driver side. A swivel joint and lots of extensions and it comes right out.
