You should be able to jack the engine up a enough to get enough clearance (after unfastening a 3 of 4 of engine mounts to get it free - leave the back engine mount in place). I had to have a go at this bolt (I took the engine out) after it sheared off at the race track due to being over torqued at the factory. Major PITA - I lost the head gasket from over heating and had to drill out the old bolt.
