Nope, the nut is *directly* underneath the rod -- I see no easy way to remove the nut. I do remember (Everett?) about not turning the head of the bolt for fear of shearing. From what I see I would have to 1) remove the cooling flaps rod (not an option in my opinion), or 2) remove the damn distributor and hope the adjustment ability can either be rotated to a more convenient position or the bolt and nut can swap locations.
