UDP install help!!

so i'm a real "Do it Yourself" kinda guy... but it's real hard cuz i'm a total noOob when it comes to car/mechanical stuff. (so far i've done the basics, FSTB, RSB, eibach, illuminas, intake, exhaust, STS, front clear HIDs, custom black hid's, custom black grill, gear bushings and then some ..)

after MONTHS of research, i decided to install my UDP. i read ALL the howTo's in the sticky's, gregshome garage, owensfamily... etc.. but i STILL have a couple questions.

QUESTION 1: the power steering rotator bolt. i think i've ACTUALLY figured out which one it is, but JUST to verify. it's the 14mm bolt behind the power steering pulley, it points straight at the start of the oil line (that leads down to the oil filter) and it's the only silver bolt kinda away from a group of other bolts that are darker in color (and on my car, they are all old and rusted looking). IS THIS THE RIGHT BOLT? WHEN PEOPLE SAID THIS WAS THE HARDEST ONE TO ACCESS.. THEY WEREN'T KIDDING.

QUESTION 2: if this is the right bolt.... HOW THE HECK DO I ACCESS IT? i have a 6" extension and a u-joint... is this not sufficient? do i really need all the adaptors and extensions listed in owensfamily's writeup? (http://maxima.theowensfamily.com/udp.asp) even if i do... i can't seem to locate the "hole" in which he inserts the wrench to access the bolt. how do i access this bolt??

PLEASE DO NOT POST ABOUT HOW I SHOULD SEARCH AND READ THE STICKIES. I HAVE. IF YOU KNOW OF ANOTHER WRITEUP BESIDES THE HOWTO'S, THE STICKIES, AND THE OWENSFAMILY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW...

PLEASE DO NOT POST AND TELL ME TO GO TO A PRO. I'D REALLY LIKE TO DO THIS MYSELF... AND I FEEL LIKE I'M ALMOST HOME FREE.

PLEASE DO TURN THIS INTO A "IS UDP REALLY WORTH IT?" POST, WHERE WE DISCUSS THE PROS AND CONS ABOUT UDP'S.

SORRY FOR THE NOOB QUESTION. JUST AN EAGER MAXIMA OWNER TRYING TO FREE UP SOME WHP.
