Default Installing headers..HELP!

I bought the DC headers a while back and just now getting around to installing them. My friends room mate was going to install them for me last Sunday and everything was going smoothly until we got to the last bolt on the bottom left of the stock headers.....well needless to say there is not much room to mess around. We had all the right tools to get everything off but didn't have room to get that last bolt off....I read up on Kaeon's thread when he installed his so we even had that up on the computer incase we ran into problems...well we did and can't get the bold off. Kaeon said to use an open socket 12mm wrench which is what we had plus a coupl other tools but we could never get a good fit. we could get just enough of the wrench around the bolt but not enough and when we turned...it would slip and eventually started to strip then very end of it....so is there an alternate way to get that damn bolt off....anybody who has installed these headers or another kind to their tc and has some advice to get it off please let me know....i am about to say screw it and just sell the thing...headers that is. Thanks.

i used a 12mm socket and a U-joint adapter to get it off. I had a hard time with my car also, but thats what did the trick.
