Default aem cia installation problem

Ok ive got everything off cept the resonator. read earlier about lots of "hidden bolts but man there is just one i cant get to. if your in the weel well and you look at the resonator , its on the right side bolted to some other thing. lol sorry about bad description but its the only bolt that i cant see to get some any angle without taking off my bumper. its kinda towards the top of the res tube and closer to the front of the car. im sure its the only thing left to unbolt, then ill have this damn thing done in 5 min.

Remove the side turn signal light. Then use one of them swivel socket thingies with an extension. That's what I had to do.

Is it a 4th or 5th gen? On my 4th gen, I was able to get at it by removing the turn signal. I could just barely get a socket on the bolt (10mm, I believe) and was able to turn it about 1/8 of a turn at a time. It was painful, but I got it. I had one hand in from the fender side and the handle of the wrench sticking out by the turn signal. Good luck.

My clutch is also squeaking, so I'd like to know about that too!

if it's just the peddle then hit it with some WD40. If it's the actual clutch, then I don't know other than to tear into it.

At least with mine, it's coming from under the hood (I have a '93 Si, BTW). The clutch feels fine and it was just replaced not too long ago. I doubt it's the clutch itself. It looks like it's cable driven, so it's probably something in the cable.

You should be able to take off the two or three bolts under the bumper on that side - loosening the bumper so you can pull that out and slide your ratchet in there (from the wheel well side) to that last bolt. Take off the side marker so you can look in there and see what you're doing.
It's bolted to a little metal bracket, and all of it will come out when you loosen the bolt. then rip that **** out. *kapow*
