Did you remove the fuel rail? If not are you talking about the pressure regulator?

That's the fuel pressure regulator. I always remove the fuel rail to have more room.

Use a good penetrating oil like Deep Creep and let it soak in a few minutes.

A flexable 1/4" drive extension and universal is what I used. Did not have to remove the fuel rails.
