Hi all,

I am helping a buddy change the cam cover gaskets on his 2000 DTS.  The front is done.  We are stuck on how to access the bolts that connect the corrugated pipe from the rear air valve to the exhaust.  If we succeed in removing the bolts from the pipe to the valve up top, will that give us access to remove the cam cover?  It is stated in one of the books we have that it is easier to disconnect that pipe from underneath but my hands are too big to get a wrench in there.  We even tried accessing the lower end of the pipe using a long extension/ujoints from above but no dice.

Any advice gleefully accepted!  We are stuck with the car on the lift scratching out heads.....
