Default Problem with front diff cover bolts

I have a 97 7.3 with a Dana swapped solid front axle and lift…front diff was leaking so I go about replacing the seal, and the right most cover bolt is tight against the lower Leif spring shackle from the lift, not sure how to get it off. Any ideas?

I'd use a 6-point flare nut crowfoot wrench + breaker bar.
You may have to loosen a little on the spring shackle.
