A2 1.4TDI AMF BHC Downpipe - what is the ultimate design - buy or make?

To disassemble the downpipe from the AMF engine one have to losen the four nuts that secure the flange of the downpipe to the exhaust manifold.
I prefer to do the job with the car on four stands, me laying on my back trying to find a path to the nuts. All four are accessible from below with the right tools.
One way to get better access is to remove the long driveshaft or loosen the gear box end and swing it backwords to improve access to the nuts.
My recommendation for tools to loosen the gear box end of the driveshaft is:

The XZN M10 bits has a 10mm Hex interface against the tools on the picture.
