i use a spanner that i grinded the ring side down and use a mirror 2 locate the nut from under the manifold try that bud

[TooleyS15]

It's her car lol I'll pop to machine mart and buy some funky spanners tomorrow lol

[umpkin]

if you can remove the water pipes that feed the turbo, that also makes it easier, as they cross/run infront of the stud and nut in question.

got the nut half off with a curved spanner then it locked and rounded! what a cunt! its never been off in 26 years so its no supprise!.

Going to take the engine out the weekend and sort it! that means ill get the wife to clean her engine bay and engine! lol
