  1. BLKGT07 The best way to go about that sucker is to pull off the air mattress inflater thing. That will allow you access to the bolt that faces the front bumper. behind this http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff290/KSAL02/image_zpsca9ace2c.jpg the second bolt is located behind the air lines at on the top of the valve cover under the fuel lines, easiest to access with the battery out obviously, then with a shallow 12mm 1/4 with an extension.....OR if you have fancy tools like im so lucky to have swivel head extensions make it accessible with a 3/8 extensions and a shallow 12mm http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff290/KSAL02/image_zps3ff5c4e2.jpg lastly the back to bolts face the firewall, the top and easy one to get at doesn't really require anything special should be able to see that and get it with an extension. the bottom one.....is the killer. i tired to take as best a pic i could using a mirror to show where it is. it is WAYYY easier to get at if you pull the TGV off. ONLY PULL THIS OFF IF YOU HAVE 2007 and newer as those TGV's do not need to be rest and are not spring loaded. the pic shows UNDER the TGV and that open hole (i didn't put the bolt back ) is where the bolt is. the bolt that is in the pic is the bottom 10mm that holds the TGV in place. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff290/KSAL02/image_zpsba1cfdf3.jpg As for the passenger side collant res. there is 1 12mm bolt holding it in place. I just took the whole thing off. I didn't worry about the lost coolant if i notice something i will top off another day. I DID NOT remove the manifold completely. I just took off enough to get 2-3 inches of space which is plenty and below is my redneck engineering on how to hold up that manifold so you have enough room to do this job solo (yes that is a rachet strap attached to my rafters in my garage). DO NOT crank the hell out of the strap just enough to get it up and out of the way. HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!! http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff290/KSAL02/image_zpsc68c154b.jpg
  2. Just did this job this weekend. 07 LGT To gain more access to the driver side with the fuel lines, I pulled off the bracked of death covering the fuel lines, then pulled the 2 bolts holding down the fuel rail allowing the manifold to be pulled up a bit more maybe 2-3 inches. Made a lot easier. Also used a ratchet strap attached to the manifold and my rafters to hold it up making a very easy 1 person job
