E34 530i

It's a 92 with the m60 motor (V8) I'm changing the motor mounts. The drivers side is a PITA. I'm contemplating taking the cross member out because I just can't seem to get a wrench or socket and swivel on the top mount bolt to remove it. I've taken the alternator loose, the power steering pump is out, so all the clearance I can get on the bottom is maximized unless I take the subframe/cross member out. Can you please lead me in a direction that will help me get that top mount bolt out with out removing the aforementioned member? It a tight sumbytch on that side.

So far I've tried a small 17 wrench from the bottom, a swivel 17 socket from the top, double swivel from the top. I got frustrated so I stopped. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
