Just keep trying I think mate. Jack the car up and try coming in from below.
A universal/ knuckle joint on a socket extension with a ratchet would help as well if you don't alredy have one:
I had many a scraped hand and knuckle doing the very same thing, only with an XE. Limited space didn't exactly make it any easier.

Well if you've got a socket set you'll be able to get one of those from B&Q or something for a couple of quid. Save you fucking about needing to fit a new HG.
