This is where impacts come in handy. Eeverybody should have one. They are life savers

Can you fit an impact in that small space? I was thinking about it but I wasn't sure it would fit.

yes an impact will work i used it on mine to get em loose...just use extensions and swivels and its all good and if u don't have those don't try by hand or else you'll chance bending or snapping the stud.
