Got a nasty exhaust leak on the passengers side. I believe that maybe the bolts have come loose. The one i could access on the front drivers side was a little loose so im gonna assume that they may all be loose, they have been off since the car does have new head gaskets. So what is my best approach to reach the back bolt on the passengers side? better from the top or bottom, looks like a real PITA, any advice? Thanks.

If it is the same as the 97z28 I just put on some headers and you can get to that bolt pretty easy from the bottom.

Thats what i thought but im not seeing it from the bottom, I can feel it from the top just cant get a rachet on it. I can get the socket on by itsself but cant get the righ angle to fit the rachet in there. Any other suggestions?

Get a flex joint to put between the socket and the ratchet. Use a box wrench.

I have headers, I use a short box wrench to get at mine?

If you drop your starter you can get a wrench right up in there but you gotta drop the starter to access it easily.
