Trying to run wires through the boot near the steering column.. can’t get the box off under the dash!

Sorry for the terrible pictures. I cannot figure out an easy way to get that nut off. There is no direct shot to it and if I try to get something in from the right side, there’s just too much crap in the way to get anything around the nut, never mind being able to turn it. I got the bottom 2 off, I REALLY hope there’s only 3, because if there’s another one in the top left corner I’m just scraping this idea. Any tips on how to get to that last nut?

That one is a PITA. There is only 3. I use a ratcheting box wench with a swivel on it. That helps. I also think having the right extension if using a socket.

Thanks for the reply! For anyone that stumbles in this with the same problem, I actually got it by getting pissed and yanking things (Which usually never works out). There’s a group of wires that trace the box (there held together in a plastic channel) on the outside.. they clip in. Once you remove that, there’s a U shaped indent on the box that gives you a direct line to the nut. Took me about 4 hours to figure something out they took a minute to accomplish. [emoji2959]

Shoot. Yes! Forgot about that too! Glad you found it.

I just disconnected the connectors and I had almost a straight shot for my hand to fit and reach the feeder wire through the boot. I cut a little hole in the nipple on the boot and routed my wires through there. The nipple will lead into a space between the two shells and you just have to feel around to find the leader wire that you used.
