A lot of annoyance, anger, sadness, frustration, and pressure.
Not sure if your talking about the up pipe bolts, but if so you can fit a 12" breaker bar with a 12pt socket back there and alot of pushing should break them loose.

You get to all six 12 point bolts through the passenger fender. Its easiest to have a friend to help. One guy to hold the socket on the bolt and one to push/pull up on the breaker bar. You might need to use a small extension for some of them.

I was like rueful stick....what the hell is he talkin about? :rof
There's 2 bolts holding the dipstick. They are close to the top of the bellhousing on the trans. Gotta go through the fender to get them.

Ok hmm I'll have to look again. Then drop the down pipe right? Then the other star bolts will be reachable?
