Intake Manifold Problem

Ok this might sound pretty dumb but i cant get to the last bolt i need to take off so i can get my old stock intake manifold off. There is not enuff space to fit a bit or a wrench of any kind. I was getting so desperate i tried needle nosed plyers, lol. I dont know what the deal is, its at an angle so that i cant get a bit in there, and the space isnt wide enuff for a wrench. Any suggestions?

with the right wrench or socket one way or another you can get to it and get the bolt out

for the long gaskets i use k&w copper sealer in a spray can and for the end pieces i use ultracopper RTV if the engine is in the car. i always use fel pro gaskets unless someone else is buying them for me.
