I just disconnected it from the intake manifold, bent it a little, and use a small ratchet, socket and extension to remove the lower nut.

EDIT: I believe the small ratchet set is 1/4". I should look up the photos I took...

I have to drill that bastard nut though; it was way too tight and I feared breaking the threaded rod (that would have been a bummer)

Worked well, and the last coolant leak is gone
