Coil Bracket removal

In the middle of this on my 02 hawk, the back passenger side is being a royal pain in the ***. Anyone have any tips or tricks to it? I've tried using a ractcheting 10mm rentch, help

Try a deep socket. It is tight but can be done. Be patient and take a break if you get frustrated.

It took me all of 5 seconds. The trick is to use a pivoting head 1/4" ratchet with a deep socket, but you probably don't have one. Maybe you could find someone to borrow from.

The trick is to throw that bolt away after you get it off.

I just used a regular wrench and took my time, cursing slowly and repeatedly

Ratcheting wrench did it for me. Also did you remove the plastic cowl cover under the wiper arms? Gives you a little more room to work with when it's out of the way.

Well finally got it off, I went back out there right after i posted here, and got it in about 5 minutes. Weird how it always works out like that, a pivoting gear wretch got it done. After that i got to my springs real fast and everything went smoothly. This makes me want to buy the coil relocation kit.
