66 Convertible Fuel Pump

This might be a stupid question, but how do I get the far bolt of a fuel pump off? I am having a devil if a time turning the bolt as it is very hard to get a wrench on there. Where can I access it better?
Thanks!

If there is room, a ratcheting wrench might work. What is the view from the bottom? With the fan off, can you get a socket with shorts extension on there?

I changed mine this year. Its gonna take some patience. I found it easier to work from the top, rather than under the car. I think I may have even used some pliers to break it loose.

Definitely not an easy task depending on the bolt head size. I had to take my timing cover off anyway, so I did that first. Made it lots easier. When I put mine together, I used bolts with a smaller head so now it won't be an issue if I have to take off the fuel pump in the future.
