How did you reach the top bolt?

The shop that I used to install my Unitronic Turbo-back exhaust complained about that top bolt!
Basically a "reach around!" i reached around with the short wobble ext and ratchet and figured it out. i guess i was able to get the angle as if i were loosening it from the top, but still underneath the car. Also came out pretty much unscathed. just a few scratches on the top of my wrist. Not bragging at all, but it was fairly simple. just took time to work it out.

Any advice for a stripped head on a flange nut? Trying to go at it with heat, vice grips, and PB Blaster.
Have half a mind to just grab my air hammer and knock the damn thing off. I'm replacing the turbo and have new studs in hand anyway....

I used a super long (about 2.5 foot) extension and entered just outside the wheel..

Just did this install. I removed the intake and entered from the driver's side near the brake master cylinder with a wobble extension.
With the COBB downpipe in place I was able to tighten it from the bottom because the OEM catalytic converter no longer blocked the bolt.

Interesting method. Maybe I'll try it when I install my k04. I went in from above on the drivers side with various extensions and wobbles.

Since the intake has to come out anyway, you'll have clearance to get sockets w/ extensions in that space. That's what I would do.
