Q: 4X4 module bolt removal

asked by on November 01, 2016

Hi, I am replacing a bad 4X4 shift module located behind the glove box. The front bot is easy to get to but there appears to be a second back bolt that I can't fit wrench or socket to access it. There is a 4 wire harness to the left that is blocking it. Can you advise on how to get to that back bolt? Thank you!
