I could get a uni-joint on there last time but struggled yesterday. do some people use a half moon 14mm ring spanner on it?

SipposBFT Member 81 Member For: 15y 8m 20d Posted 08/12/11 11:24 AM Share Posted 08/12/11 11:24 AM (edited) a quick fix I performed was using exhaust manifold washers from an RB30 (VL or R31 skyline 3L)...theyre spherical & act like spring washers...I repaired my leak about 10,000k ago & still tight. I have a quite a few spare If anyone wants some.

Lock tight won't do anything, remember what we do to things that we need to undo that have lock tight bolts... We hit it with an oxy. I've seen my turbo and manifold glowi g before... I put new studs with a spring washers.
