No room to unscrew kitchen faucet

Question

It's a pretty simple problem, but I couldn't find anything, maybe I'm searching for the wrong keywords.
There's no room no unscrew my kitchen faucet, even if I twist the spout along with it there's just not enough room for a full turn of neither, it was probably installed before the countertop.

I tried to unscrew the spout off but there's not enough room for that either...
Worth noting that I'm in a rented apartment and I have no tools, I wonder if I can solve with by bending it with some pliers or some other cheap tool I can buy.
The other faucet I'm substituting this one with is bendable so it fits fine
Edit: I can remove the ring but not sure if its enough, tried wiggling and pulling the spout but it won't come off, I'm also afraid to ruin the wall.

It looks to me like the nut on the spout would turn independently of the spout itself. Put the faucet back in its original position and turn that nut while holding the spout stationary. See if you can thread that off and pull the spout out, then you'll be able to rotate the faucet body.
If that's not the case, it looks like you'd be able to find a position that would allow you to spin the spout, or a combination of positions as you turn it and the faucet body simultaneously.

Look on the photo. Just under the tap knob, I think I can see a ring that can be unscrewed to take the long outlet pipe off.
