OMP & filter tower removal
What's the best way to go about removing both of these? I have the O-rings for both.
The filter tower has two nuts underneath, probably 10mm. I can't seem to find a good way to get to them though. I've tried a small wrench, ratchet, and crow's foot without success.
With the OMP, I've removed the air box and air pump. I had to fight the grease just to get to the unit, but wasn't sure how to get it off. I saw 4 bolts to the oil lines and another attaching it to the block, but I'm sure I missed a few in the muck.
Any suggestions on how to remove either would help. The car is up, so even working from the bottom is feasible.

Else, I use a box wrench with a 12-point end to crank it in short turns.

I think they are 10mm(?) flange head bolts?
Since you got the E-OMP, I know one is on top and hiding back there.
A ratch with short extension 6"(?) should be able to shoot back there.
Don't touch the banjo bolts that hold the oil lines onto the OMP!
