Default Passenger side header gasket, question inside!

So the passenger side header gasket looks a bit harder to change then the driver side. I'm just curious if i'll have to get the far back header bolt from the bottom or is there some way i can get it from the top?

It's easier from the bottom.

FYI, spend the extra 10 minutes removing the coil brackets to get more room and to save your hands from getting beat up.

If you have a stubby or wobble, it can be done from the top. Either way I still think its easiest from the bottom.
