Exhaust Manifold Help

So I've received the exhaust manifold gasket and I've been staring at my engine bay as to how I would do this.
There's just one problem I've encountered, and its the last (or first) bolt, which seems to be unreachable.

The bolt sits behind that thing, lol, I have no idea what it's called, what it does, or why its there.
Could someone lend a helping hand (or two)?

Argh

you need to bend a spanner to get to it man i had same problem wen i worked on an mr2

i can give you a hand were do ya live???

Bob already said he'd give you a hand with it mate. You know he's keen to get his hands dirty

call bob i got tools if you guys need any

Do you ave any room for a 3/8 drive socket and extension? Thats how I got mine off. I had 4 bolts I was ready to snap off on mine but I could just reach em with the smaller socket set.

There doesnt seem to be much room, looks like the power steering bracket could pose some problems...

More than one way to do it and Bob has some mad tools.

Have you tried a Uni joint socket adaptor? Give that a go. Pain in the ass to use but usually works once it's on.

i got ratchet spanners if that helps

have u spoken 2 a exhaust place 2 c how much it may cost 2 get them 2 do it????? worsty case senario, or ask how they do it in a work shop, if they have a special tool that they use??? just suggesting

Haven't asked any shops, spoke to one guy whose done it and says its achievable with a uni-joint, you just gotta cram it in there...whose got a uni-joint?

i think i may have 1 mate i will have a look and get bak 2 u k...

the trick with using the uni-joint to stop it falling down when reaching for the nut, is to wrap a little bit of insulation tape around it, so it holds its shape a little bit but still flexible enough to move.

Not sure if the picture serves me correct, but it appears that is the crank angle sensor, could be wrong though.

How did ya go with it mate?
