As anyone who has had to tighten or remove replace that rear bolt on the valve cover, it is a MAJOR PITA.
Anyone have any socket/wrench wobble extension combinations that make it less painful. Gettin the torque wrench in there to tighten to the spec 75 inch pounds, almost impossible. I had to cut the tie wraps to the wire/hose harness that runs above it and pull it out of the way. I'll take some pics when I find a decent method and post so we can put this PITA to bed...
Anyone have suggestions? I have tried shorts and long sockets.
To those that don't know it is a 7/16 head.
