judgee New Member 23 Member For: 14y 5m 29d Posted 28/07/12 01:06 PM Share Posted 28/07/12 01:06 PM Found one of my turbo to manifold bolts hanging off, cannot for the life of me figure out how to get any kind of tool in there to tighten it. Its the bottom one near the actuator. I have taken the heat shielding off and I can only get one finger in there let alone a tool. Does the actuator need to come off or am I missing something?
