hard to reach bolt, what can i do ? :(

[connorling]

trying to put everything back together.
but the bolt circled in picture below is so hard to get to.

i dont want to take the compression side of the turbo out just to do that.
anyone got any idea?

i cant fit my 17" spanner in......
the heat cause the bolt came loose.

any ideas?

try from bottom?
jack up car, use 2-3 extensions

dont know if you can see, the turbo is right under the bolt.

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

this wont fit in either, because there is some sensor or what not in the way as well.
i want to replace that bolt, but i cant even take it out!!!
