Default Re: can't access passenger rear exhaust manifold bolt

I worked all my life as a professional mechanic. you would not believe how many wrenches there are in my tool box that have been modified for special applications. If I were having your problem, I would get a quality, but inexpensive wrench and take it to a grinder and grind it down until it was thin enough to fit, and if necessary, heat, bend, weld or cut the wrench as needed. then, the next time you need to do the job ( if ever ) you will have the correct tool. These special made tools always come in handy for other jobs also. not just the ones you made them for. ----- Jim --
