There isnt any room to get a wrench on the bolt and the exhuast is in the way to get a socket on
I need to change the thermostat 03 Venture but cant get to the bottom bolt, any ideas?
yeah gotta use a stubby wrench, get a gear wrench from like sears, the one that ratchets so you don't have to take it off the bolt, once you get it alittle, you should be able to do it by hand.. you could also try a 1/4 inch ratchet and extension with a swivel 13mm socket, it will give you a little more room under the exhaust.... why you changing it?, did you get a engine light?, p0128?, overheat?.. give those tools a shot should work, i use them all the time on those, as well as intakes.... good luck.

You have one of those cars that has to be partly disassembled to do anything with. Not much you can do but remove exhaust or take it to a garage.
I usually buy a cheap japanese wrench and put it in a bench vise and bend it into whatever shape will fit.If you have a pawnshop nearby you can get them there for $1 or less.
