C4S Driveshaft removal

[Rwtf2008]

I have an ‘04 C4S Cab with tiptronic transmission that has what looks like an oil leak between the tip and engine.  I’m exactly three bolts away from dropping my engine and transmission - one on the drive shaft and two on the engine mounts.  However, with everything else disconnected I can’t rotate my driveshaft to get a better angle at the one bolt that’s on top.  Any pointers/tips?  I had a 90 degree socket that snapped in the process too.  

 

Red arrow shows essentially where the last bolt is.

Did you try turning the rear wheels?

[Rwtf2008]

I did but perhaps either too far or not far enough?  It’s in park but the parking break is off and it’s off the ground - which if i’m not mistaken once the rear wheels leave the ground the parking brake is disabled anyway?

You will not be able to turn the rear wheels with the parking brake on. The drive shaft should rotate when you rotate your rear wheels.

Turning the rear wheels did nothing for it.  I was able to cram a gator bit on there with some extensions for a good enough angle to get it off.  Did the trick without stripping the bolt too.
