2001 CRV Cylinder head removal

[dickdriver]

Hi - I'm one of the poor bastards that discovered the faulty valve design, after looking up no compression in cyl#1.
So, I'm taking out the cyl head, but I'm stuck on removing the bottom row, center 2 nuts off the intake manifold. I got off the 5 bolts and one nut, but can't figure out how to get a socket or wrench into there. Any tips to save my sorry butt? Once I can remove those, it's the cyl head bolts and then the head comes off, but I'm stumped! Please deliver me from this torture!
