Default Stuck exhaust manifold

Managed to get the turbo off last night - is it not the WORST job on an escort!!

But it seems the manifold doesn't want to play ball, tried tapping it with a hammer but the next step will be smashing shite out of it unless someone knows of any tricks??

I find giving it to someone with a ramp saves skinned knuckles, swearing and dirty hands .

if the manifold is stuck to the head are you sure you have undone all the nuts as usually when all the nuts are undone the manifold just falls off

just belt it with a hammer a few times. close to the head though as you dont want to bend the studs in the head.

you HAVE undone all the nuts I take it!

I can't come until end of week .

I'm not bringing the slow old Sprinter if I can get away with the Astra van, and if I can come in the Freelander (air-con etc), then that would be even better .

If its the front & back bumpers, i reckon it'll go in the freelander.....

And if they don't it'll be piss funny watching you throw your dummy out of the window!
