As expected, the passenger side was much easier. The very back one did require jacking it enough to remove the tire, and there is easy access under the fender liner. "While I was in there" I went ahead and check the manifold bolts. They seem to loosen up at random.

I am pretty sure the CIA and FBI come in and loosen some of the manifold bolts at random.

I have never found a pattern, but I just give them a tweak, and several are not tight after 10,000 miles or so.

And of course, I managed to knock off the wire to the oil pressure sending unit, so I get a steady 70 pounds of oil pressure on the gauge. Fantastic oil pressure! I took it for a test drive, and all is fine, but the engine is way to hot to stick my hand back there to push together the oil pressure sender wire down harder.
