Smile 2002 dodge caravan 3.3 coil pack removal

Hi everyone, my project is to find a big water leak that is somewhere under the ignition coil pack, I start taking the power steering reservoir out but hit a problem, on the screw that mounts to the coil plate I can not get to it looking at it from the front of the van you see the where the screw is in but the head of it is on the back very hard to insert the socket with a long extension and it seems that coil pack and something else is on the way, I have been at alldatadiy.com, and at aotozone and checkers no help there they said it has to be a trick to it.
Also the alldatadiy tells me the steps but no tricks or easy ways out.
This is my only vehicle so if theres someone who could please help me I really apreciate thanks to all.
ford79pu5@aol.com Am leaving my email address because at other forum I just couldnt unlock it ro read it again.

You should be able to get to the nut with a 6" extension from the rear. The reservoir is sloted so you just have to loosen it a couple of turns. It is a 10 mil nut.

Welcome to DF
There no tricks, There two screw and one 10mm nut. 1st thing you need to do is suck out the p/s fluid, because you'll need to remove the small hose. The 10mm nut is on the back side and all you need to is loosen it. Slide the reservoir out of the way and the rest is easy.
