use a regular offset wrench. or If you must use a socket wrench, use a pair of those angle/swivel attachments. thats what I did

i can get it from the top but with the socket sets and sockets i have it was hard to get it onto the bolt....i just removed the 2 screws and sorta moved the power steering res just enough to get in there

header is finally installed, that is a lot of work ...mainly because i didnt have a breaker bar, and also broke an extension with the breaker bar i did buy lol so had to make a few trips up to parts stores

you sure as hell do feel like a new man once its all done, those spring loaded bolts are no joke lol!!
