You can also put a box wrench on the front nut, and a long extension and
stubby ratchet on the bolt, with the ratchet ending up near the
transmission. You can remove it that way.

My favorite way is to put a box wrench on the back (doesn't need to be
curved) and a ratcheting box wrench on the front. No problem at all. You
might have to drift out the long bolt, but that should be no big problem
either. No need to remove anything else.
