not enough space around the bolts to fit a 17" spanner in either
Have u tried a offset spanner?

If all else fails, just Take off the manifold with the turbo, its prbz best way to do it....if not its the only way to do it, considering the very limited space u have, will save ur alot of hassle as well, an atleast than u can tighten up the bolt easier an tighter
hard to reach bolt, what can i do ? :( - REACH HARDER
LOL but as said above. Get extension rods and do from under the car with socket !!!!!!

this wont fit in either, because there is some sensor or what not in the way as well.Quote:

Can you take a pic from lower down so we can see it better

Good luck dude.

would you be able to fit a crows foot in there?
was thinking about getting some of that crows foot wrench.
will see if it works.

its useless because u can only turn 1/8 at a time, and the crows foot can not fit due to space.
and the fact that i have to insert the foot over the bolt makes it even harder.

Think about how much space you will have to get at the stud you are trying to replace if you have the manifold/turbo sitting on a bench
thats what i am going to do next, take it all apart again,
just finish the season so now have some more time to take it all apart

already had some form of loctite on it - connor will elaborateQuote:

i did put that on last time i semi-pull out the turbo.
but i believe the heat is too much for Loctite 247 and come loose again on the track.
on honda-tech suggest to use the high temp silicon gasket to give the bolt more stickier.
i want to explore all the possibility before pulling the turbo out completely.
