Hey guys I'm working on dropping my oil pan and came across two 12mm bolts. they're really hard to get to especially the one right underneath the bottom right pulley "pulley that's next to the crank pulley". Is there any way I can get the bolt off? what kind of tool do you guys use for this? HELP

Do you mean the two bolts for the A/c bracket ?, if so they are best taken off with a ratcheting box-end wrench, which had a flexible head.

Yes the three bolts that connects the a/c bracket to the oil pan. I tired wrenches and ratcheting boxed in wrench. There's completely no room for it to fit.

You need a wrench with a flexible head, I've done it many times with such a tool. I'll post up a pic

Here is a pic of the two tools I've used on those bolts , both work fine, as you need to get in there on an angle and then have a bit of leverage to crack the bolts loose. The longer wrench I have works a bit better as you can get some added torque with it, but both will work, the smaller one is easier to find in most tool stores though. It's the flexible head that allows you to get into that tight area and work on an angle.

You only need to remove the 2 14mm bolts from the bottom of the AC compressor. Leave the 3 12mm bolts in place, that little triangle bracket will come off with the oilpan.
