Default Bolts in tight places

Any hints on how to get out troublesome header bolts. It is the top bolt on the passenger side header that connects to the x-pipe. There are two bolts that hold it on there and the first one came great but this other one is gonna make me pull my hair out.

I used an air ratchet with a universal or flex extension and I'm pretty sure I used at least a 6 inch extension also. If you have Craftsman sockets, use a thin wall socket ( just in case it breaks )
