if it still leaks go to ford and and buy a new pipe as you may have damaged or bent it from previous attempts that could Miss shape the flare on the pipe. You've already spent 30+ hours on this one fitting I think it's time to bite the bullet and do what others have suggested and start removing things out the way to give you the access, you will kick yourself when you do it and think why diddnt I do that first.
weve all been there mate just don't give up on it
Thank you for your kind reply.
That box with the wires is secured to the bracket with bolts, I took the bolts off and the box came loose, but the bracket remains in place solidly. It has an arm thing as well attached to something, I think the bracket is part of the turbo or it's components and I think this is bolted onto the exhaust manifold.
An old friend came out to have a look today (he's 63-65 and I am 25) and he agreed it was difficult to get at, said that bracket thing and the box is something relating to the turbo and not to move it.
However, he had a last minute thought before he left, He has taken the bolt with him and is going to drill little slots (where each section of the bolt is as it is hexagon shaped so on the line part he will drill a thin groove) and that way we should be able to put a screwdriver in that and make it tight or hit the screwdriver with a hammer while it is in the groove and get the bolt tight.
I really hope it will work, do you think it will ?
thanks and please reply when possible
