Ok I have a 92 5.0 and I'm doing a rear main seal in I need the highrise off to gain an extra 12" to the hoist height (yes you have to pull it) my question is how do I get to the only torque bolt on there sockets are too big to fit through and tall to fit underneath. Any tools you may know of? Or tricks to this problem help please. Thank you.

google open end torque wrench

unless you are thinking torx, in which case there are regular torx wrenches

Yeah it's a torx bit head bolt but the sockets are too big to fit either way (through top or bottom).

It's the only one like it on the manifold it sits in the center on the left hand side if youre facing the towards the back of the truck

And you've taken everything else off the top of the intake?

Yeah it's the allimunimum high rise I'm having an issue with honestly the motor is free I gotta get to my fuel injectors and create a little more room to pull it.

Just drop the trans to do a rear main. Its alot faster and alot easier.

I just bought a long torx tip and put it on a socket adaptor. You also probably be able to get a long T-handle torx driver

Yepp I did the same with the torx insert it was so easy that's why I didn't think of it lol
