That damn top bolt...jeez...its such a tight fit, I tried using 2 extensions locked together, but it was so loose I couldnt get the wrench to lock enough to turn (not to mention the tight fit).

Whats the trick to removing the top bolt? I also couldnt access it from the top.

i just used the closed in wrench and had my freind held it in place from the top of the engine bay and i went under the car and got it out.

3 feet of extensions, swivel on either end. Just gotta get the rachet behind the transmission so you have room to turn it.

that is def. the trick, i do the same thing as nismo521, about 3 feet of extension and a swivel(knuckle buster), just sit back by the transmission and watch for smashed knuckles

or break down entirely out of frusteration and pull off the intake manifold, just depends on how much time you wanna waste
