Go to any hardware store, buy a cheap wrench, and heat it and bend it with a torch. These German cars sometime require us to be innovative. I would also highly recommend that you soak the bolts in PB Blaster or some other penetrating oil. Chances are high that they are seized inside the bushing housing. I vaguely remember having to take a saw to one of mine. May have been a different car though. If you have to use new bolts, coat them in anti-seize to prevent them from bonding with the housing again (not that you're ever going to take them off again).
