Default Trouble with pes exhaust manifold installation.

I am in the proccess of bolting on my manifold but I can hardly get to the top nuts. It's at a ****ed up angle and I can barely turn the nut, let alone get a tool in there. If anybody who has installed this kit knows what I am talking about please reply. What have you done or what tools did you use. I am starting to loose it.

Default Just have to take your time and turn them a little at a time

or what others have said, use a crows foot wrench. I know juan made his own wrench to do the top nuts, you can also try calling PES up on monday and ask them.

Default When all else fails....

Start grinding wrenches with bench grinders, sockets, etc. I've had to make tools before to do weird jobs.

Default this was a biatch.

I heated up a small open face wrench and bent it to a nice angle, i also used a straight open wrench. A lot of people use a crows foot though, which is a open faced wrench that will fitt on a socket extension.
