Help with getting rear strut on a 06

Almost done with all 4, last one doesnt wanna go on though. Im assuming I need to take off the upper control arm to get the clearance I need but cant even fit a socket onto the bolt because of the axle, any tips for getting enough slack to get the strut on/ctrl arm off? Im assuming I just need to go at it and keep taking shit off until it has enough play but maybe im just missing something simple.
