Downpipe advice needed

I'm struggling to get these two bolts off the heat shield. I have big arms and I just can't get in there well enough. Anyone have any friendly advice? Car is damn near new, so bolts have been coming off easy.

Try PB blaster and let it soak for a bit. Use a Snapon ratchet because they have a ridiculous amount of teeth so you can still loosen those with barely any room.

+1 try a flex head ratcheting wrench. that and a breaker bar. when i did mine removing the wga and all of the mounting brackets made it a lot easier. spent countless hours on it, but in the end couldve done the whole thing in probly an hour or two. good luck
