Intake install help

Im trying to replace the intake tube while keeping the stock box with one of those Williams Performance tubes. How the heck are people reaching the lower clamp?

I think I tried to use a swivel extension but then found an angle on it after about 15 minutes with just a smaller ratchet and managed to get it off. It is pretty annoying though

I didn't even use a ratchet. I put the 7mm socket + short extension and unscrewed it with my fingers. Basically make it like a small screw driver. it's not that tight.
