What don't you understand from the writeup? You will need the right extensions and the u-joint. A 12mm wobble-socket from Sears might work as well. You have to do it almost entirely by feel, though if you are coordinated you can hold a light and watch what you are doing from above (with fuel rail removed).

Or are you referring to the ones on the mounting bracket? You have to do those blind, and if tight, they are difficult to remove since you can't get more than 30 degrees or so on the wrench before it will smack something else.

We got the ones off the bracket off, and had all the correct tools, I think its operator error more than anything. we had a 12mm socket with a 6 in(or so) extension and a u joint on the end (closest to the rachet)

In one of Xviper's HOWTO's, there was a flexible extension he was using. Does anyone have an idea of where I could buy one of these?

i have three different flexible extensions all were purchased from autozone. Try there or pepboys. Those bolts can also be removed if the car is on a lift with an extra long extension and a swivel attachment. This will take some time, I have done it twice and it is a true pain in the ...

- man, those bolts are a pain... my hands got all cut up that day..
- im using ghetto shit, a wobble (ujoint?) with a #12 on it... NOT the ujoint #12 (built in one)
- I didnt want to go buy any other tools so I used this and I got to every bolt..

I just took mine off and put it back on for the second time. Its a bitch of a job, but do-able. It just takes a lot of extensions, and swivle joints on your ratchet. It also takes a lot of cuss words and skin off the back of your hand. If you have a good assortment of tools just stay at it and you will eventually succeed. It also helps to take off the auto belt tensioner.

Snap-On-Tools. Great tool for getting the nuts started in difficult to reach places.
