Hiya all,
Anyonne have some sage advise for the R&R of the intake and exhaust
manifolds on a 1980 Spitfire 1500? Specifically, I noted when inspecting
the manifolds to see what it will take to pull them (I have a manifold
gasket leak and possible cracked exhaust manifold), each end of the
manifold has a single stud at the end.
The wonderful thing is that these two studs have no clearance for a socket
to remove the nuts, and the one on the front of the engine appears to not
allow room for even a crowfoot wrench without removing the water pump.
What tools would work for freeing these nuts without pulling the water
pump? Anyone know of a working solution?
