Just completed my rear brakes have the same issue. What you need to do is get a bottle jack compressed rear spring enough to take tension off the control arm out. Take a 19mm and a breaker if I'm correct and remove the bolt.then gently tap the arm and you'll be able to get to the screw with an extension and a 14mm. Then just do those steps in reverse to reinstall. It's really stupid but can be done at home
