I couldn't fit my impact wrench in this space so I had to resort to using a 1/2" ratchet on the bolt head and a 1/2" breaker bar on the nut. On top of this, I had to use a 3-lb sledge hammer to hit against the 1/2" breaker bar to loosen the nut. I eventually got it to a point where I was able to leverage my body weight to pull down on the 1/2" breaker bar.

Tools Needed:
1/2" breaker bar
1/2" ratchet
24mm socket (bolt head)
24mm deep socket (nut)
3-lb hammer
