Today I noticed my boot on the #1 throttle body is loose and leaks boost past 5#s. I tried to tighten the bolt, but the frame won't let a screwdriver reach it from a straight angle. Is there any way to tighten the boot without dropping the motor?

there is 1 grey rubber grommet on each side of frame near the 2 black knee pads,remove them and use long screwdriver to reach in and tighten...
I got creative and made a flathead out of an allen wrench. It was tight, but it got the job done. Thanks for the input guys. My wastegate hose cracked and boost spiked to 23#s then blew the throttle bodies out of place. I think the big injectors kept it from leaning out.
