Go to your local rental place and rent a 90 degree, or right angle drill. It is shaped like an L and you dont have to have hardly any room to work with. You should be able to get it in there.

Here is a pic.

MX bubs is right find a right angle drill , some of the pneumatic ones are a litttle smaller if you have clearance issues. You may have to use a short drill bit. Also use a bit that's smaller than the bolt dia.; chances are once you start drilling you will screw the bolt out the bottom without damaging the threads. :cool:
Good Luck

I used a hard chisel and broke the bolt, after i spread teh peices apart, then got a new shifter.
