can be done with manifold on, either way its a blag, a chapped down 17mm spanner is the best way of getting to them mate.

they're not meant to have one, its metal to metal as standard, i put a cometic one on mine and it blew within 2 week, so i replaced it with another, and that blew in 2 days, put it back without one, and its been fine ever since.
