Malcolm GT Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Put mine on at weekend all okay apart from one bolt which I can't tighten much. Imagine you look at it, you have 4 top bolts and 2 bottom ones. The bottom left one is under the ram and I can't get a spanner on it. If I do it has no room at all to move. I get a socket on but can't turn it.Anyone got any advice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 You need a swivel spanner or you can put the mani on 1st then attach the turbo and downpipe together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I used a ratchet spanner and could only turn 1 click at a time, went down with the spanner from the top John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
