Default Accessing G104 Bellhousing Ground

I've been trying to look for tips on how to do this. I was under the car and I could not for the life of me figure out how to get at this bolt. Does anyone have any tips on how to loosen this bolt, and then putting it back in? I'm going around trying to clean the grounds and eliminate issues with this car.

You have to remove the exhaust system. Maybe there's a way to do it without removing the exhaust system, but I couldn't figure it out.

9/16 box wrench or 9/16 swivel socket work. I take my motor/tranny out so often I opened a hole to the right of the gas pedal to access the bolt with a straight socket and air ratchet.

I understand the "access hole" - access hole and a cap plug to fill it!! In your case likely isn't filled!

You, my friend, are correct. No cap plug for this car.

I dropped the AT shift cable bracket and went in with a 24" extension and a couple of short extensions to give the overall extension some "flex".
Hope you don't have to reattach any terminal ends, thats when it really gets fun😊
