getting access to the two bolts that conect the DP to the ear exhaust manifold is a complete pita. I can get the socket on the nut, but that don't have any way to generate enough force to loosen the bolts due to lack of room down there. anyone have any tips/tricks on how to get into this area and generate enough force to loosen these bolts?

thanks


The more I look at it the more I think I will have to go at it from below...

unbolt the upper motor mounts and use a ratcheting strap to crank the motor forward until the manifold is almost touching the fans.

pb blaster is your friend.

or

Rotate the engine back, wedge it in place and using 5 or 6 extensions to reach the bolts from the bottom.
