I finally found/felt 10mm bolt holding sensor on bellhousing under plate connected to o2 sensor wire but see no way to remove it with socket or open end wrench. No room among other things. I’m a newbie, do other things have to be removed for access? (Took me a week to find bolt!) Is there a ‘trick’?

You need to remove the shift lever from the transmission to give yourself some room.

Here is the process from the manual that spells this out.

Let me know if you have questions. Hopefully this gives you the detail that you need. If not let us know and we can try to come up with something else. Thanks
