I'm trying to fix the oil leak from the driver side exhaust manifold stud. I have all the bolts loose to remove the manifold but if I remove it, I'm not sure how to get the front bolt back in because of working space. The manual simply says to install the bolts. Are there any tricks to doing this? Maybe removing the power steering hoses will allow you to get your hand in from the front?

The manual also says to use Loctite 620 when you reinstall the stud. Is this the best thing to use? If you can't find Loctite 620, what's the next best thing to use?

Any advice will be appreciated.
