The B***dy downpipe nuts
#5
Halfords T-Bar 1/4" with shallow 10mm socket on top, bunch of extensions, UJ if req'd and a deep 3/8" 10mm socket from below. Long as you're careful, the T-Bar will eventually jam on the exhaust elbow and allow you to do up/undo.

It is a bugger to do, but it's definitely doable. Getting them started again isn't particularly easy, I tend to do it from the top, hold up the cups and springs with the nut in your fingers, once you've got the springs and cups over the bolt, you can get your thumb on top to get the nut on and started, then swap to underneath with the same tools as before.

HTH!
