Its a pain in the arse job. When you go to refit the manifold, pack a bit of paper or tape around the bolts so they are a tight fit in the socket when you go to refit them. You will understand why later.

Good idea. I looked into the bay and I couldn't even seen that damned middle bolt. All the tool shops around me don't have any of the tools right now so it seems I need to either put this off for later or have it fixed by mechanic.

Thanks though!
