    Patience.... lots of it. I had to do this recently on my Festiva and it was a huge pain in the ass. It can be done, but just take your time and a universal joint helps. Also when you put it back on some gasket sealer helps hold the bolt in the socket when trying to rethread the nuts.

      When I was doing all the brake line I unbolted the charcoal canister and ignition coil and pushed them aside out of the way. Also the solenoid bracket and fuel filtre bracket (on the fire wall on the carburetted '89). They are easy to move aside and put back.
