Not 100% certain but believe you may need to pull the intake manifold to get to the two upper bolts.

you'll need six inches worth of extensions, and you have to try to put the socket on the bolts first. I would be a little bit easier if you remove the ACV (Air Control Valve) which is in the middle right on top of the manifold and it has 3x10mm bolts.
