Hi I am trying to remove the exhaust manifold on my Ph1. I have undone all of the nuts (9 in all i think) and its nice and loose but it wont come off, cant quiet see whats preventing it coming off before :confused: I dismantle something that I dont need to has anybody got an ideas what also needs to be removed.

It does have aircon but so far as I can tell it not this that is preventing its removal.

Any ideas :thumbs: would be helpful.

There's a support bracket behind the downpipe flange.. it's not hanging on that is it???
Yep I just think its awkward and needs very careful manipulation.

No that support bracket is broken, it must have snapped sometime ago.

I'll just have a fiddle around;) thanks guys.

Hi did you get the problem sorted?

I had a similar problem the other week!

It was the air con unit that was in the way, I manhandled the manifold to get it free and successfully managed to bend 2 of the studs!! :rolleyes: so I ended up removing all the studs from the head after the manifold was out. Old for new policy with studs and bolts :thumbs: just in case there are any problems down the line.
