Removing these bolts from the lower inlet...

[Greeny.]

Looking to fit my matched inlets shortly but last time I tried I got stuck trying to removing the following bolts:

The threaded bolts that hold the fuel rail cover on. I couldnt get a spanner around them properly and my deep sockets whernt deep enough iirc. Whats the best option?

Cheers

sorry i have no idea tbh but does your deep socket have a nut bit on the end you could get a spanner on ? if you know what i mean ?

EDIT what about a swan neck spanner or a box spanne may be?

You sure you can't get a 10mm ring spanner around them? I know its tight and you do risk skinning your knuckles but I'm sure you can get to them from the bottom. Failing that you're gonna need a stud extractor set to grip the extrusions.

Lock two nuts together on each one and get your socket on it and crack them free

I used a 10mm ring spanner, didn't even need a swan neck.
