I've not had to do it on my 4-cylinder but have on the V8 which is
similar. I used a ring spanner from the front - ratchet ring ideally.Â
If you can lift the engine that should give more room, as would
disconnecting at least the left-hand engine mount. I think I raised my
V8 putting a block of wood largely covering the sump pan and jacking
under that.
