How do you get @ the top starter bolt?

[87GT Drop Top]

I've been messing with this thing for over an hour. I can't find a way to get a wrench or a socket on it.
HELP!!!

i had the same problem a couple of weeks ago and the only way i manage to get to it, was by taking the wheel off and using a big ass extention with my rachet.

What he said.. take the wheel off. You gotta go through the side of the crossmember and use an extention. Trust me.. I had the same problem years ago. You'l get it.

Wheel off and 24" extension with universal

Wheel on, really long extension or a coupe of them, go through from in front of the K member.

A specific flex socket helps. Use a 6 point socket if at all possible.

That's how I get-r-done. The weirdest combination of extension handles you've ever seen. Might even have to use the wobble extension for that one.

I went through the K-member, but I couldn't get the socket on there all the way. I went from underneath not through the wheel well. I will pull the wheel tonight and try again.

1/2 inch wrench reach down behind the motor and get it.I have long tubes on my car not sure if you can do this with shorty headers.

I go from the engine compartment under my shorty headers with a couple of extensions

Yep. No need to take the wheel off.

Sorry I couldn't resist an opportunity to show off my car.

i didnt read any... but if you use about 1 1/2 to 2 feet of extension you can go right from the front over the a-arm

Thanks for all the help, it's off!! I didn't have to take off the wheel. I used a 1/2 drive set up with a 6 point socket, 31" of extension and a swivel.
