exhaust manifold removal

[Stizzyflip611]

i am having trouble removing the exhaust manifold from my 92 plymouth laser turbo car. i can't seem to get to the exhaust manifold stud furthest to the drivers side of the car. do i have to move the power steering pump to get to it? or is there a special combination of tools that i could use to snake into that small space?

please help asap
thanx for the space

assuming the setup is similar to a 2g, flex sockets do wonders - even though I hate them...

remove the ps pump bracket. from what i remember its 3 nuts holding it on. two that come off with the shield, and 1 furthest to the front of your car. your only make more work for yourself if you try to manuever a flex ratchet in there...

Once you get it off doing this trimming will help in the future.
