Re head removal on 3.8 V6. Bottom rear head bolt won't break loose on right head. Very difficult to get at & corners are beat up on the top of bolt so unless at perfect angle, even a 6-point socket will slip off.
Tried to use air impact wrench, but can't get right angle because of limited space. Extensions are blocked by an air conditioning cannister that is on firewall above the bolt.
