How to remove passenger runner bolt

I have a 1991 camaro 5.0 liter tpi that i am swapping injectors this weekend. Got plenum and driver side runner off but how do I access that lower torx bolt on the passenger side at the front? I tried extensions and flexible ujoint but my t40 head cant get to it?

is their a trick to getting this off..very frustrating or can I leave that passenger runner in place and still remover the fuel rail?

any advice would really help.

thanks

Remove whatever is blocking you.
There is no trick. Just use an extension with the torx bit.

Re: How to remove passenger runner bolt

To get the inner torx bolts you need an extension and you have to do it from the opposite side of the car. If its on the passenger side you need to use and extension and get to it from the driver side as Viprklr said.

After you've done it a few times you should be able to rip the intake off a tuned port car in less than 10 minutes. Its easy.

A ratchet and a torx bit.

The lowers are easy, the uppers are easy. The hardest are the inside bolts that must be reached from the opposite side of the car.
