Ok thanks for the tips Ray and George. I think I can
access the two 6mm under the turbo with my swivel adapter.
I'll see tomorrow (got home late tonight, it rained so I
only had the time to remove the last bolt on the manifold
and the two 6mm on the side (with a long allen wrench and
a hammer to act as a lever for the back bolt, and with
my floor jack lever inserted over the allen wrench for
the front bolt).

BTW, the second manifold bolt from the back, on the
bottom is a real pain to get at. I did all of them either
with a half moon 10mm 12 point wrench (the one for
my Lancia actually!) or with a socket of the same size
(plus the oddball for the oil line clip which is a 6 point bolt).
What's the thread and size on those manifold studs?
There is at least one manifold nut that I will change,
that's why I'm asking. Also what material are they made of?

I think I'll go to the dealer to get those nuts.

Last thing, I'll try to take some pictures of various
things as I go and put that on my web site.

Ciao,
