Default How difficult is it to remove EGR manifold on the 2006 ford forcus 1.8 tdci ?

car - 2006 mk2 ford focus sport 1.8 TDCI.

Car was leaking oil due to loose upper turbo oil feed bolt, I cannot tighten it and have spent over 30 hours in the past 3 days (honestly !) on my own trying to tighten this turbo oil feed pipe bolt. I have tried many different ways of how to tighten it and I am at my absolute wits end, have had enough of it.

I am considering now removing the EGR + manifold ( they are integral) which I also think having to drop the exhaust manifold, remove the turbo e.t.c. and all I want to do is get 2-3 turns more on this screw ! (I don't know of any other way to do this)

I am no mechanic, have had no training but I have replaced several little things on it over recent months, mostly suspension.

any tips/advice greatly appreciated.


Regards
