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

Starter
Actually it was a bitch but with help from this forum I was able to do it without removing anything but it was not easy. The starter is in but I let the car sit too long. I need to soak the cylinders. It barely turns over and is very stiff so I am going to put penetrating oil in the plug holes let it sit a few days and then work it loose with the crank bolt and a braking bar. The car sat for years with me planning to get to that starter but every time I tried I got so frustrated I nearly gave up. I finally have it on the road back. I think it will be OK hopefully once I get it lubed and freed a bit. It ran great when parked but had that bad starter. It actually turned a half or more revolution under starter power but I did not want to push my luck the positive terminal was getting hot. I need a spark plug wrench that will fit this thing, my standard doesn't do it. Anyone know what I need?
