How to get to Cam Position Sensor?

How did you guys get to the CPS for the C32?

there's a whole bunch of wires in the damn way just behind the valve cover, so a) I have no visibility
b) I can't get my socket set through there.

Trying from the other side of the engine bay, I'd have to be a contortionist.

I'm reluctant to go buy a set of car ramps just to replace the CPS. I've tried moving the breather lines, unless there's an easy way to move the bunch of stupid wires I'm out of ideas.

Any tips?

After 3 hours and several bruised limbs, along with buying a T-handle socket with extensions, I still had no luck. the E8 or E10 still isn't biting the bolt.

gut feeling someone stripped the bolt -_-

I'm calling it quits for now, damn you AMG engineers!
