Question Easiest way to take off bottom-middle two manifold nuts?

Anyone who has taken the stock manifold off an SR20DET while it was in the car, how did you get the bottom-middle nuts off? I've gotten the others off without an issue but i can't seem to find a way to get a 14mm socket onto those two remaining nuts, all i can get in there is a 14mm open wrench but there's no room to use it .




Nuts 7 and 8 in this diagram:

I can't get a regular socket in there cause it's a tight space, well i can get the socket on both nuts but there's no room for a ratchet after that point..

but if the swivel socket you have is too bulky, as some are (mainly 1/2"), there is always a wobble extension
