I jack up the car and squeeze my arms in between the fire wall and block.
It takes a lot of preparation and some feeling out to get the hex bit into the right spot. A lot of yelling and trying to miss a dropped socket wrench or two from hitting you in the face... :shock:
From the couple times ive done it... I dont see anyway to get it done from the top...
