What's the problem? Can't get a wrench in them, not enough leverage, no space to ratchet the wrench, what?

I accessed mine from the top with the rear turbo intake off and the y-pipe removed. I suggest removing as much of the intake system as you feel comfortable with. The y-pipe can be tricky to remove without damaging the o-rings, so be careful.

I can get the wrench in there and all that, I just cant see the 4th bolt, i took off some of the intake, but i still cant see the bolt, the bottom two i can see, the top left? i can see, but the other one is hiding somewhere. maybe some pics would help

Look at the new downpipe, picture where the bolt has to be, and find it with your fingers. Or get an extending peek mirror. I had so much stuff removed seeing it was real easy.

Good advice. Rx is now Gt, I couldn't see mine either, just feel around for it with your hand, and somehow slide the wrench in there, jiggle til it ends up on the bolt, and take it off.

I actually help doing mine, and it was a lot better to have one person under the car, and one above. The guy from below can put the wrench on the bolt, but with the handle up, so the guy above can turn it. Make sense?
