luckily, it was actually quite easy once the car was up on jackstands. Thanks for the insight though. The top was a PITA royally!!!! Got the starter in and the car turned over fine... it did not start though... Just look at my other thread started today....

Easy???
Tried from the top right forearm is scratched to hell now. I don't see how you could even get this out of the car if you managed to get that top bolt loose. I can't see it and the one I can reach is a 12mm not a 14 mm so I don't think that one is right. Damn I wish I had a lift. Gonna try getting the wires free from the starter and see if it gives me any more room. What a PAIN IN THE ASS!

Yeah for anyone doing a hg it is a good idea to do the starter too like I did. It is way easier without the head on.

Its impossible
I can't get my arm in there. What do I have to take off from the top to get to that bolt? The entire manifold?

When I did mine, I stuck the box end of a wrench on the top bolt (the hex that faces the front of the car), and used a ratchet with about 24" of extensions and I think a u-joint adapter with my socket on the end. I went at it along the topside of the transmission body, up to the bolt

So far I can't even get more than a finger tip on this bolt I don't understand how you were able to get to it from the rear. Did you take anything off? Thanks
