I'm trying to remove my valve covers on my 1997 camaro w/ 3800 V6 to replace the gaskets but am stumped by the right side. The motor manual calls for removing the rear engine bracket and trans fill tube nut to provide clearance. Can anyone tell me the procedure/tools used to get to these nuts? There's almost no clearance from the top and can't get leverage from underneath. THoughts? I've asked on several forums and have had no luck!

Use a VERY small wrench and switch back from the open end to closed end.. moving it 1 mm at a time..
No joke... its a MAJOR pita.
There should be a nut that holds the trans neck on.. remove that nut. Then remove the bolt that that nut was on.
It's not easy at all and takes LOTS of time. I believe mike huff just took a breaker bar and a sledge and pounded the bracket out of the way.
I removed mine. I did NOT put it back.Keith - Chicago<br /><a href=\"http://www.hptuners.com\" target=\"_blank\">HP Tuners - PCM Reprogramming</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.dxsoftware.com/magnus/\" target=\"_blank\">97 Firebird V6 to LS1 swap</a><br /><b>V8 9.967@132.78</b> 1.322 60\' NA Heads/Cam<br /><b>V8 10.295@128.48</b> 1.363 60\' NA Cam Only<br /><b>V8 10.987@119.31</b> 1.422 60\' NA Stock Internals<br /><b>V6 13.674@98.22</b> NA<br /><b>V6 12.394@104.91</b> N20 100HP
