Remove the pump.

If you remove the PS belt (just slide off to the side of the pulley) you may be able to rotate the pump far enough out of the way to get a ratchet with extension in there (at least on a 2G, not sure about the 1G). That way you don't have to worry about spilling PS fluid and bleeding the system when you reinstall. But it's really not hard if you do end up having to do it.

The last time I removed my manifold I know that I didn't have to do anything with the PS pump. But it's been awhile so I can't remember what I used. 1G setup may be slightly different.

On a 2g I can get a socket on there to start it out, but usually I just use a wrench.

Either remove the pump, or get a swivel socket with an extension and a ratchet. Otherwise, an offset gear wrench.

On 2.0L/4-122 turbocharged engine, leave power steering hoses attached when disconnecting power steering pump. Position pump out of the way and secure with a piece of wire.

Seems like a whole 'lotta work. I just use a ratcheting 12mm wrench.

If you dont do the pump, try a quarter inch ratchet with swivel ends thats what I did.

What's this swivel end y'all are talking about? And I just remove the powersteering pump and i can reach all the bottom nuts?

Ratchet wrench is what I used too. Not that big of a deal at all
