Remove dump completely

Use a 10mm ratchet spanner and come from underneath ( hoist rocks here )

Its a pita job but easy enough.....

Maybe just pull the manifold outta the car and do it on the bench.

Just need to get to those bitch bolts for that bracket which you don't need.

Nuts are buggered anyway, why not try a set of vice grips.

already tried bud, it's a bastard of a nut , it's SOLID! does not want to get separated from the stud. Will try n take dump and manifold off tomorrow if I have time.

I have a set of the above but from the looks you'd need to pull it all out of the car to get at it?

Bought a set of Irwin from Bunnings, not cheap. About $40-$50 IIRC and same on ebay

Got it off, grinded a groove into the nut then more cold chiselling

Just so I wouldn't loose the other 3 nuts when taking manifold off I tightened them back up a little bit and now I have another one that won't come off and has started to strip :s

So much win
