yeah thats what i been reading.. did you jack the motor at all ?

 

Yes I did, but it didn't really help with any thing. If you had good nuts on the manifold it would help you get to the ones behind the shock tower. I needed to pound a 12mm on and with the angle of the studs there was no way.
As for the y pipe connection it would allow me to get a hollow socket and ratchet on but left the handle jammed in the corner so that was useless as well. It also put stress on the y pipe making it harder to get the new one in. Your best bet would be to completely disconnect the y pipe but looking at the nuts I didn't even consider it lol. So I don't think jacking the motor served any purpose.

 

Only love and hope will get this nut off...




Cracked on both sides. Definitely time to be replaced.

 

I cant wait for my turn..

 

Is your all rusty too or just leaking?
