Hi has anyone got any tips on how to remove the nuts on the bottom of the lower inlet manifold.
It's on a X16XE, I haven't jacked it up yet, but is it easier from underneath? It's just the plastic pipe is right in the way

Thanks, at least you didn't say it's a piece of piss
Did you manage it with the air filter pipe still on?
I've only got the last three to do

they aint that difficult, as long as uve got the throttle body and alternator off and can get an arm down each side of the inlet i held a ratchet spanner on with one hand and moved it with the other one lol, did it the other week, if not i used one of them fancy hose clip removal tools witht the long flexi bit on it 2 get that pesky hose out the way lol
