Default Need Help Asap!

I am not sure where to post this but I am in need of desperate help. I have taken all the proper steps needed to take out my open diff pumpkin to swap it with another pumpkin. There is only one problem. I have a stripped nut that I need to take out, and the reason it is hard because it is in such an awkward place.

Here is some pics that I jacked from another thread:





Please some give me some advise, or let me know if there's a tool I can use. Thanks!
