reddog87 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Help. I am stuck and cussing. :hateputers: I have a 85' with a 4.0. I am trying to remove the manifold in order to do a head job on my leaking beast. I have the top bolts out, but I can't find the best way to get on the bottom bolts that hold the header and the manifold on the block. I have worked from the bottom side, but the exhaust or the manifold is always in way. If anyone has any smooth tips, let me know. Thanks... :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Gear wrenches and skinny arms!!! Really, I grabbed the neighbors kid to get the center ones. gear wrenchs make this job much easier!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYMJ Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I guess you've removed the air box for more room? You'll need a swivel, and a medium extension along with your 9/16 socket. You'll just have to manuver the wrenches in place around the egr tube and other things in the way, and under the intake, your're going to get greasy. Don't know what else to say, but I've done several, they get easier with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I did it just with extentions (you have to find the right combitation of them)and a rachet from down below and a few up top I didnt have my airbox in either. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
