CALL A PLUMBER
There is a tool called a basin wrench made for these kinds of repairs and replacements. very limited space is very common under kitchen sinks because of the way cabinets are made and all the crap that is underneath them. if you still cant get to it, it may be easier to remove the sink from the cabinet. there is only a few connection to undo and a few clips or just caulk holding it in (depending on the sink)
there is a special tool you need it is not hard to replace,,i had to do mine,,the tool is inexpensive,,,tell them in the plumbing store you need the tool to loose your pipes,,,you have to be careful not to hit your drain pipes as they might leak if you bump them,,i did mine once,,next time i had my neighbor do it,,me and plumbing do not get along,,it is up to you how handy you are,,it is the drain that can be a pain
