Driveshaft removal

To anyone that has removed the driveshaft from the evo x, what tools were used to remove the the four bolts that connect to the the driveshaft flange in the rear? One side is a 12mm and the other is a 14mm but the space is so tight I couldn't get my half inch drive ratchet or breaker bar and socket in either side. I tried using wrenches but I couldn't get them to budge. Any ideas?

Thanks
-Oscar

I used a set of box wrenches. You can loop two wrenches together to get the extra length needed to produce enough torque.
