mine did this.. you want a "deep" spanner to squeeze between the sub-frame and chassis rail onto the nut. If you approach it from the back of the car you should be able to just get a normal spanner in, then wedge it on the chassis rail while you tighten the bolt.

As above, if coming from wheel arch put the spanner in backwards and wedge it against the sub frame. then have to twat it to get it off.

I just tightened mine from the bottom and the nut didn't move so no need to back it up.
If this doesn't work use above, lol
