Default EGR Valve Replacement on 2.7 TDV6

Have any of you guys or girls done this before????

What tools did you use to undo the retaining bolts on the EGR body?
There are 4 bolts holding it onto the block

1 at the rear retaining the Cooler bracket
2 in the middle where the EGR meets the Cooler and
1 under the front below the belly of round control module

The first 3 I have removed ( undone as they are obstructed by pipes and the suspension turret
The one at the front of the engine i can not seem to get at to get a spanner on- even my bent 8mm spanner will go on the bolt but there is no space to get a turn on it

Big Engine- Small Space

My trusty bent 8mm with tape tail so I can retrieve when dropped

I am open to any suggestion, I can't get a socket on it as they angle down and there are pipes in the way, I have seen S shaped spanners for sale but not sure if even they will do the job
