Default Exhaust manifold

Evening guys, i will need to refit my exhaust manifold once i have rebuilt my turbo. Are there any special tools or tips to refit the exhaust nuts as they were a right pain to remove but i only have basic spanners/ socket set. Are there any tools which would make it easier?

Cheers Jason

When I need to remove the exhaust manifold I pull the whole engine out lol as I find it much easier to get to the underside nuts. The only other easy way is if you have a 1/4 drive socket set with an assortment of extensions as I find you can't get anything bigger on some of the nuts
