Default Wheelbearing

I have a 1997 Malibu as my DD I am in the middle of doing it and I can not get a bolt off to save my life! There is not any room to fit a socket or anything.... I have removed the other 2 bolts and that was hell doing that and this last third bolt has less room to get to it than the other bolts... the only way I can see doing it is removing the knuckle and I really am dreading it since I will need a front end alignment... any input would be helpful!

Thanks!

Impact swivel socket and extension and you will have the correct angle to get it out,

Coupled with a good impact. Those things work miracles. You can also buy just a swivel joint, just be careful you don't put too much torque on the joint and blow it. Get a quality one, not a Harbor Freight special.
