Does anyone know what size socket fits the bolts that secure the two halves of the manifold together please? I.e, the "trouser section" bolts??

I've tried 10mm, 11mm, 3/8" and 7/16" but they're all either too big or too small

Any help appreciated

I thought it was a 10,3/8"? Well thats what ive been using on everything elsa!

Are you sure you have not rung the end off so it feels to big?

That's what i thought as well, it's a brand new manifold so the bolts are as new, just wondered if they were some weird size lol.

As Tony says 12 point ten mm socket

Or just a ordinary ten mm spanner is what I do them with when they're in the car

Cheers for the replies, tbh I thought they were 10mm, it must be my cheap shit sockets that I've got at home lol, it'll have to wait until tomorrow when I can get a decent socket from work.

they are tight
I use a 12 point 10 mm snapon spanner and a good swift crack with a Birmingham spanner

they either weren't tight enough to begin with or your egt is too high
