Welcome to DF!

Second bolt on which side??

 

It was the drivers side. I got it today I broke the clip off the top and put my socket on it and was able to get a wrench on the nut. I was trying to hard to get it from under the truck. Well next time will be a breeze.
Now time to spot and stop all the oil leaks.
