Hey guys, hoping this will be a quick and short thread. Have my ***** under the knife at the moment and the car will turn but not start. I am trying to replace the CPS but looking for some insight into how to get it out.

What tricks have worked for you guys? I have zero idea as to how anyone has fit a 10" extension behind the driver head and firewall. I've tried to get to the bolt for about an hour, but either the extension is too big or the 3/8" drive is too big to undo the bolt properly?

Any thoughts? Need to get this car moving again, thanks!

 

it's a E8 female torx to get it off

 

A lot of it is by feel

 

have you seen this thread? It has pics to make sure you are on the CPS, my first time I was trying to get the larger wire that connects to the side of the bellhousing...

imagine your finger tips have eyes. It's mostly by feel here.
