Default how to reach/loosen bottom exhaust manifold bolts on a V6?

I got all the top ones, but the bottom ones seem impossible.

I need to drill out one of the studs and put a bolt in. Will I be fine with just 2?

Default I've seen guys do it with long extensions and flexes.. But that was on a salvage car...

so maybe there were other things not in the way.. I tried it on my car, and gave up before I even turned a wrench on it. You trying to replace flexes?

I believe he's trying to drop the trans for a clutch install, and broke a bolt somewhere...
