trebor69 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I ended up splitting mine while I had the manifold off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Soak with a generous helping of wd 40 and let it soak for a while (I left it a day) 2 out of the 3 bolts can be reached with the 4" + the 12" (aprox- the long one) And the 3rd one you will need the knuckle fixing to get the right angle. Take it slow and keep the socket flush with the bolt. Don't get impatient as you don't want to round off the bolt. That's how it did mine but it can be luck how easy they come off. Others will say heat them up with a torch but I didn't have this. Good luck Edited April 7, 2014 by Marcus GTE (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Managed it. Bit if struggle. Took the wheel off and manged to get abit more access. Had to improvise making up to breaker bars etc but got there.

Elmo Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I had mine up on a ramp a couple of weeks ago, tackled it from underneath and the studs wouldn't budge. Then tried from under the bonnet, still wouldn't budge. Couldn't be arsed to take the manifold off so gave up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
