Default rear pass manifold bolt

How the hell do I get that thing out? I cant even reach the plug wire to move it out of the way. Please, any suggestions?

the exhaust manifold bolt. But I cant reach the plug wire to get it off and make clearance enough to get a wrench on the bolt. I'll try from under the car but when I looked at it from there I could barley even see it.

I got mine off from the top pretty easy actually. But I am a skinny kid so I can reach back there no problem.

Under the car is a better choice. I did that once and got to it really easily as well.

I have monsterous hands and can't fit them back there. I think it wouldn't be so bad from under the car but I need to get the plug wire off to do that. I just can't seen to get in there to get it off. So now the problem becomes how do I remove the plug wire with my giant hands not being able to fit.

You should still be able to reach it from under the car.

You removed the coil packs and egr/air right?

Didn't remove the coil packs but everything else is out. I don't even Have a wrench /socket anything that will fit up there. I was able to get it moving a little with a gear wrench from above but, it's only a matter of time before my thumb that I'm turning it with decides to stop working.

skinny kid + LS1 = a good relationship between car and driver.

Big hands don't mix.

Removing the coil packs free's up the most amount of room.
