non-sport brake job cant remove caliper

Did a brake job on my non-sport coupe today, the front went smooth. However when I went to remove the calipers on the rear I was unable to get the lower bolt off the piece of the caliper that houses the piston. There is no room to get a wrench on the socket. Can anyone let me know how you getting this bolt off?

I believe when you jacked up your car, you placed the jack at the factory specified spot and in doing so you lifted the body and the wheel lowered it self therefore blocking the lower bolt. Am i correct ? If so, what you'd have to do is place the jack at the rear differential and use jack stand on the side for safety and support. Google it and you'll see lots of pictures of it.
Good luck.

Use a 6pt box end wrench and a cheater pipe or rubber mallet for extra force.
