Bit the bullet and decided to install an EGT gauge with the sensor pre turbo.
Removal of manifold has progressed until its time to remove the manifold studs. The studs have a multi point star head which does not fit a 8mm socket correctly.
What tool do you use to remove these studs, access to the top ones may facilitate use of the double nut method to extract them. I struggle to see how this method would be viable for the bottom ones.
Appreciate if someone can assist.
I am concerned about the amount of oil that I have uncovered around the base of the turbo and the side of the block, intention is to remove the turbo and reseal all mating flanges. What is the degree of difficulty doing this?
