How would you go about getting this bolt out without pulling the blower?

I really don't want to pull this 3.4 crusher if I don't have to but it looks near impossible to get the rail off without pulling the blower.

I was just going to cut the L part shape of an Allen wrench for clearance but I'm still not sure that'll work


Any tips?

Would you have better access if you took the throttle cable and return spring off? Looks like you might in the pics.

You're going to have to pull the blower. Even if you get the bolt out there won't be enough room to lift the rail off to clear the injectors.

*waits for VMP owners to brag about removable inlet*

Needle nose vise grips. It will not be pretty and if the bolt is too long, no bueno.

Yup you're right, I didn't even think of that. Once I get that bolt holding the rain on in the back I should have access to all the blower bolts. What a pain!!

Can the crusher inlet be removed while it's still in the car? I searched and found a post from 13 years ago lol where the guy said it was easy but he really didn't elaborate on it
