2002 V8 throttle body cover

[dah]

How do you remove the third (closest to firewall) nut on throttle body cover on a 2002 V8 explorer
Can't see it or feel it and access is limited. Must be simple but I am stumped.
Trying to replace egr valve.

I think there is only two nuts on the front. The rear is held in by clips, i think. Also there is a wire loom that is attached at the rear of the cover. Once the nuts on the front are off give it a little tug and it should pop up.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

On mine there were two post under and toward the rear and middle of cover. By lifting from the rear corners cover pops off. Thanks for your help.
