Default need help with AIR pipes

got a set of AIR pipes and check valves for my car since I got the dreaded CEL, drivers side doesn't look that hard to change, passenger side looks more difficult to get the back bolt on the pipe, any help how to remove this? Id like to do this myself as opposed to paying someone else too. Thanks.

What year is the car? '98-'99 AIR tubes and exhaust manifolds are different from '00+. Frankly, I don't recall either being hard to remove though. I always pull these for plug changes and none of the bolts have ever been an issue that I can recall.

I use a 12" extension with a flex head, bend it around the AC tubes to have a straight shot at the 2 bolts.
