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

 

It was a fucker to remove! Im guessing like bil n kel said and just use a 1/4 and do the best job you can do! ive got to refit mine soon and will have this problem

 

when i did mine i had it at work on the 2 poster and had to use a 13mm spanner it took for ever doing a few of them bit by bit lol

 

when I have to remove mine I have the perfect tool...... My DAD!!!

Poor sods done it so many times now he can remove turbo and manifold in under 20 mins!

he just uses some really short spanners and alterntes between the ring and open end
