How do I get this last manifold bolt? Im currently taking my stock exhaust manifolds off for a turbo setup, Ive gotten all of the bolts off except for the one in the back of the passenger side. I can barely get it on there and when I do I can hardly get it a quarter turn before it slips off. HELP!
But I had to do it like 1/4 turn by 1/4 turn, PITA

if you have not already, remove the coil packs.
Get a 1/4th ratchet, use a converter thingy, so it makes it the size of a standard ratchet. This prevents destroying 2-3 of the smaller sockets.. like I did. Cracked 3 of them right in half.
Get a short socket (I can't remember the size and I just did this. Go figure.)
Lay on top of the engine bay.
Tough it out.
The smaller rachet gives extra room to get more clicks in. It still takes a buttload while, but it will get done.
