Removing drivers side downpipe, need help

Hi all

For a little project I am removing my downpipes that hold the first catalyst. However, one nut that secures the downpipe to the header is impossible to reach. It sits behind the O2 sensor which is also impossible to reach. Any tips / help would be greatly appreciated. How do I get this ****** thing off?

Is there a manual for the car?

I think I used a medium depth 3/8 socket and a wobble extension. There is no "manual" that I know of that tells you what tools to use...
Impossible to reach is something like the power steering unit on a Nissan Maxima. I had no issues on the factory exhaust... I did a write up on the uninstall 3 years ago..

Thanks oldman. I was finally able to get it done using an offset wrench that I cut slightly shorter.
