Header help

Well I finally decided to put my LS6 intake and BBK LT's on the car, got the intake off, (broke the oil pressure sensor, at the very last minute, of course), and got the drivers header and y pipe off all in about 3 hours. Now the bad part i've been trying to get the last header bolt off the passenger side, you know, the one in the back and ive been at it for about 2.5 hours. Any sugestions on getting that sucker of, ive tried everything i know. HELP!!!!!!

Is the cat off the manifold? If not take it off and get at it from the bottom. Also you can try removing the coils to give you some more room.

10 mm ratcheting wrench? We got it from the bottom, my buddy has really long arms though.

I held the ratchet in place from the top and my friend took the bolt out from the bottom.
