Get Your Nuts Off

Anyone got a suggestion for how to remove the lower exhaust flange nut on the passenger side of a V4... WITHOUT draining the oil and taking off the oil filter?
I've got what should be the optimum setup for accessibility -- engine is coming out, so nose is off, radiator removed, alternator removed, etc., etc. -- but I *still* couldn't get at that dratted nut! I could see it, I could reach it, but there wasn't any room to put a wrench on it and turn it with the oil filter in place.
So, I cussed, drained the oil, took off the filter, and finally got the little @$#% off. But this is going to be a big inconvenience in the future, so wondered if anyone has discovered a secret trick...? (I already tried seeing if it was more accessible through the wheel well -- which works on a lot of hard-to-reach stuff on a Sonett -- but no soap.)
