Wondering how i get the 2 bolts on the underside of the manifold holding it into the head?

Ring spanner and patience...

 

Abysmal design- they should've subcontracted the K engine to Nissan!

14mm socket and 10" extension bar. Done it many times...

 

EDIT: On both stock manifolds and extractors.

pretty confident i can't get the spanner threw the tight space on the manifold and undo it. hrm

We can. You can. Stop being a pussy :lolcry:

 

$25 ratchet spanners from Bunnings = win in this situation.

I'm not being a pussy but maybe I'm doing the method wrong because i can't even fit a socket piece in the gap, let alone a ratchet

?

I go from underneath. The ratchet ring would be nice, I'm waiting for the dirt-cheap made in China ones to come out and I'll get some.

ah okay when you say underneath i assume you mean your laying under the car? is there arm room lol?

Sorry, thats the ones I meant, Bunnings, $25. Work overrated but are bulky.

use a ratchet long extension and 14mm socket its easy to get off

Good tools = easier day. Hope it all goes smooth.
