Title: 2.2 Exhaust Manifold Stud
Post by: PhilRich on 25 June 2013, 20:56:04

My lad has been stripping the ancilliaries etc down to remove the Head and managed to remove all the Exhaust manifold nuts & studs barring one! The one causing the trouble is under the manifold in line with the Power Steering Reservour so not visible and he has rounded off the 13mm copper nut and the stud torx end! Do any of you Oof spanner wizards have any wisdom to impart to enable removal of the offending article (the stud, not my son ::))
