Angry AMS Downpipe removal help

I am in the process or removing the turbo and downpipe, i already have everything disconnected except the one bolt on the back side of the downpipe that faces toward the passenger wheel. All other bolts facing toward the turbo are out but i am having issues getting anything on the one bolt facing the opposite direction. Looking for suggestions on what youve used to do this.

PBBlaster - let it soak in - if that doesn't work you may need to apply heat. You may want to put the other opposing bolts on as you break that one loose to give it some leverage. Downpipes are never fun.... Good luck!

I have soaked all the other bolts with on blaster and had to heat them to get them off. That’s not the issue with this last bolt, just getting a tool on it with any type of leverage is.

I've seen it done with crazy cobbled together ratchet extenders - it's not fun. Good luck man, what you don't want to do is snap it off, so keep soaking and working at it.

Go through the passenger wheel well with socket/extensions/ratchet to get to it
