505 Turbo: bottom bracket removal?

Ok, I'm having some real problem to remove the turbo
from it's bottom bracket. The bracket itself is held to
the motor mount by 2 13 mm bolts, one that I was
able to remove and the other is impossible to remove
unless the oil line return (from the turbo to the pan)
is removed. This is held by 2 6mm allen bolts, which
are impossible to access because of the cross member.

Alternatively, the turbo is bolted to the bracket by
2 6mm allen bolts, but again they are impossible to
remove, this time because the space is pretty tight
between these bolts and the side beam.

The manual doesn't specify anything on that subject.
Surely I dont have to drop the crossmember?

What kind of tool can I use to remove those 6mm allen?

I have no space for a ratchet with an allen adapter and
the allen wrenches I have are very short and I have no
force to undo those (the two 6mm allen on top for the
oil arrival line took a good deal of torque on the ratchet
until I heard a loud "tac" when the bolts finally moved.

Ciao,
