akyakapotter Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 cut them off if they are that tight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Blowtorch/Oxy Cet. If you can add heat to the nut and get it to expand it will loosen it off. Also get 6 sided sockets or RING spanners on there if you can! More sides on the tool, less contact patch you have! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanza ep91 23 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 I cant cut off the back ones tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanza ep91 23 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ive been using a ring spanner and wont budge either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Best bet is a single hex socket and a 3/8" bar if you can get in.You can also get sockets which bite into nuts and bolts even when theyre a bit rounded. And Irwin sockets for totally rounded nuts and bolts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Failing that heat fuck out of it and use vice grips, if you can get into the nuts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanza ep91 23 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Thanks lads but there no acess to rear bolts for a grinder or a torch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Try run the car for a little might give it just enough heat to crack off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanza ep91 23 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Cant run car ive oil light up and i need manifold off the get at oil pressure stwich to test the pressure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Chem Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Why not take off the manifold and turbo together, makes it much easier to get to those back bolts? I found taking the powersteering pump off helps to get at all the manifold bolts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanza ep91 23 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ive the top 4 take off the manifold but the bottom 2 of the manofold are blocked by the oem ct and the ct9 turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Heat and molies is all you need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanza ep91 23 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ive the powersteering pump nearly off once it remove will i be able to get at the lower manifold bolt thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 IRWIN do a socket set that you can use for rounded nuts and bolts I think, might be worth a go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It is possible to get the lower two nuts off the manifold. It's just a little fiddly to get the socket and extension in. It's much easier with the manifold off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanza ep91 23 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks lad ill try to get the bottom two off the manifold so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
