Default Installing Longtubes Now: Have a Quick Question

Is there any trick to getting the bolt closest to the firewall on the passenger side on and off easier. We finally got the manifolds off, but it was very difficult to loosen the said bolt. If there's an easier way to get it on after putting the headers in place, I'd like to know. These are Hooker longtubes.

Thanks.

I use either a 1/4" ratchet from underneath the car or a gear-wrench from the top of the car. Either one works for me. I find that it helps to remove the valve cover to make room for my arm from the top side.

I just finished (my poor hands!) and I went up through the bottom.
