Never seen it on my car. Can someone post a pic of it?

Scroll down and you will see the pics that Billman posted. To me it is the hardest bolt to get in/out on the entire car..

Also it is possible to get this out with the motor in the car, i've done it before and i'll tell you it's not fun, and it will piss you off. Your hand is twisted like a pretzel by the time you get a ratchet wrench on and can turn that baby.

I have personally had to attach and detach this ground 4 times, you best bet is to just take the valve cover off if you cant get to it. It will definitely make it easier. When i did it I had my valve cover, cams, and rockers out. Definitely made the task much less difficult.

Slipped my mind about the valve cover coming off as being an option. Good to know

Yeah, if you make other mistakes causing you to have to put it in and out 3 or 4 times you start to get the hang of it. lol
