You should be able to reach it with a 14mm wrench. Put the wrench in over the nut closest to strut tower to reach it. If your wrench is too long you won't be able to twist it. It's a pain in the ass. Use a mirror to help get a look at it.

I had a good bit of trouble getting a wrench on the turbo-to-exhaust manifold nuts, what with the steel tab they bend up against the nut to keep it from coming loose. The tight space makes it hard to get this tab out of the way. As I recall I pried and beat on it with a really big screwdriver. Keep at it, it just takes a good dose of knuckle blood.
