well the wrench option worked, i had to take out the metal piece that is right in front of the hood latch...reach my hand through a tiny ass hole and i could only move the wrench about 2 inches a time, lucky that i had gear wrenches... if any of you dont have them and do a lot of engine work in tight areas, i would suggest spending the 150 bucks on gear wrenches. they have saved me a lot of time and work excellent!!!
