Is there a snazzy trick wrench to get in there and loosen that bolt ? (2.3)
Or just a lot of swearing ?

I can usually get a socket on there with a longish wobble extension.

I made a custom 17mm socket for that... it's basically a shallow 3/8 drive socket but I ground down the drive end so that it's very skinny and fits just right in that weird spot.
