having not long put a new exhaust system on my 87gta ithought it was blowing but on futher investigation i found that i have lost a bolt that holds on the manifold r/h side right at the rear of the engine block,are there any easy ways to put in a new one tips most welcome,it just looks like the most awkward place ever

brodyscamaro

go in from the bottom, try a crows foot socket

thanks for the reply brodyscamaro,
on more investigation i find that the bolt in question has
sheared off roughly flush with the head and after speaking
to my mechanic he says to wait, because the labor
charges would be too much for the sake of one bolt.
wait as in putting on headers,cam change or some other
work,i would have a go myself but it's my daily driver and
if i screw up i'm f***ed no transport to work.

I take it the right hand side of the block is the driver side?? If so the top removel isn't that hard, if it is on the pass, disconect the battery and take out the starter. It will give you enough room. Just in case you decide to put in headers. As long as you are good with a wrench it isn't that hard.
