Manifold - Downpipe gasket/sealing ring... Valver

[jwarren2k2]

Hello!

Well, i know the gasket needs replacing and i tried to do it once on ramps in a garage. Got the driver's side bolt undone working from under the car. I moved onto the next bolt and couldn't get to it without a 'wobbly' adapter to put on the ratchet's extension bar, and as a result, i think i may have rounded the bolt a bit...

is it possible to replace the gasket by only taking one bolt off and sliding the it out, then sliding a new one in?

or shall i take it to an exhaust place and let them loose on it with the oxy?!

Cheers people!!

they are a t**t to do mate and are a realy tight fit, yes you have to take the whole down pipe off, if you have a nut breaker/splitter try using that first.........

get an impact socket and use 1 size smaller down and hit the socket on then try
