1997 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a taurus that has a busted front sway bar. The part that holds on the end link broke off. There are 2 bolts that hold the sway bar in on each side under a u-clamp & bushing, but the rear bolts on the u-clamps do not seem to have enough room to remove them. The bottom of the firewall curving into the floor pan only allows for half the travel needed to get the rear bolts out. Any suggestions on how to get these out?

Its not an easy task and require to drop down the sub frame and the use of a swivel short socket
