Up until a few weeks ago, I had success using the swivel 19mm socket on long extensions described by Doug and David.



I don't know if I just got weak, or if 280K made that bolt seize more strongly, but I couldn't break it loose on that particular 89. I even gave it a try with an impact wrench, which is a no-no, using tools not meant for such abuse.

So, I dug around in an old SAE toolkit to find a 3/4" box wrench, or ring spanner as Cliff says, and broke it loose with one good whack of the hammer, working from above. I had to move a couple things out of the way along the 89's firewall; I think it was the fuel line and harness wiring or such, but that was not difficult.
