Default Help!!!!

Does anyone have a trick to get to the back bolt holding the coilpack bracket on to the valve cover on the passenger side? I have been donating blood all morning, and cannot get to the stupid bolt

No real trick.....just be patient and you will get it. After you get it; do like I did and throw the damn thing as far as you can It will help relieve some of the frustration!

I used a small ratcheting style wrench so once I had it on the bolt I didnt need to keep replacing the wrench on the bolt. Also if you are just changing plugs you dont need to totally remove the bolt. Just get it loose then swing the coil rail up toward the intake to get you more room.

Good luck

I finally got it, just as I was running out of words! I went out and bought ratcheting swivel-head wrenches and made easy work out of it.
