Air cleaner bracket removal om617
I have my new bracket in hand... yay?
Ok so I go and remove the air cleaner housing, done. I remove the left side bolt(when standing at the passenger fender looking to the other fender) easy as pie. I go to remove the right side... not a budge.. none... no form of liquid wrench will help. The left side has also been repaired in the past where as the right side ear has broken off. another question is. How the heck do you remove the bolt that holds the air cleaner onto the block? I can barely fit my hand in there as well as no movement with a ratcheting wrench.

You will need a 13mm swivel head socket and an extension to make it down to that the lower bolt.

my 1/2" drive would probably make short work of the bolt.. but the smallest socket I have is 14mm to autozone!

I'm not sure you can get a 1/2 inch drive socket in that space, I was able to get mine with a 3/8 drive socket and a universal joint (just barely fix), a swivel head socket would be better.

Did one with a 3/8 drive as well. Not as hard as many make it seem to be.

Air cleaner bolt dropped
I was just replacing my air cleaner mount with a new one. I was able to remove the 3rd (hard to reach) bolt, but when I went to put in the new mount, I dropped the bolt!
 I couldn't find it, so I came online to ask if I could just buy a new one and hope the old one is not going to interfere, but if it fell into the turbo that's something that needs to be removed. I can't even see the bolt. Can anyone suggest where it may have fallen - I thought the turbo was horizontal, so I don't see how it may have fallen in there...Thank you.

It most likely fell down alongside the turbo somewhere....try using a magnetic wand to fish it out.
