TPS removal

Can anyone explain how to remove the Throttle Position Sensor for a 06 Wide Glide? I have removed the air cleaner assembly including back plate and can remove one screw. I cannot figure out how to access the second screw, closest to the engine. Thanks

I removed mine last month I used a 1/4" wrench and the T27 bit on it.
Yes it was tight but you can get to it.

worst case grind the bit down for access
