Still think a flare spanner would be best.
I am not sure what it is, I thought about removing that 3 days ago but some foreigner I spoke to briefly said he does not think it can be removed. Tonight I noticed the black box is held on by some sort of bracket and has about 7 10m bolts, I removed them and the box separates from the bracket but the bracket is mounted onto something else like the manifold and not sure I will be able to remove it. however removing the bolts has give me a tiny bit more room.

thanks, I have taken a few things apart and will see better tomorrow what the situation on it currently is.

several people have mentioned that ( also known as a flare spanner) I want to know how thin the head is on the flare spanner, like the width on either side of the head, because I only have about half a centimetre gap on the left and quarter centimetre gap to the right.

thanks for replying.
Some foreigner who I briefly spoke with said it looked like a torque something but wasn't quite sure ?
the waste gate is on the opposite side of the engine I believe, or am I mistaken ? (I'm not too sure )
I think a crows foot spanner is another name for a flare spanner, how big is the head on these either side because I only have half a centimetre or so gap on the left and approx. quarter a centimetre gap on the right.

the hexagon shaped looking bolt, toward the back of the engine. thanks

Note to everyone above, here is the small bit of pipe , I am able to screw it out but it is very difficult to get in screwed back in tight, it was cut because it was leaking so we made a pipe from reinforced hose and put a jubilee clip from the reinforced hose to the remaining bit of the original metal pipe. Here is a picture of what it looks like and any tips how to be able to put it on tight to stop it from leaking oil is much appreciated. thanks
