I'm trying to remove the intake manifold on an EF. I have undone all of the bolts, except that nasty little stubborn ***** at the back. How the bloody hell do you get it off? I can get my arm most of the way under the manifold, but there seems to be a bee's dick to move a ratchet/ring spanner to undo it.
I did a search and there are a couple of suggestions but I still can't get any further. Someone please tell me there is a magical solution!!

If I can get it off with a spanner in a car that's had the engine moved back an inch you shouldn't have issues!
That or you have fat fingers. Fatty. |
