Anyone who has taken the stock manifold off an SR20DET while it was in the car, how did you get the bottom-middle nuts off? I've gotten the others off without an issue but i can't seem to find a way to get a 14mm socket onto those two remaining nuts, all i can get in there is a 14mm open wrench but there's no room to use it .




Nuts 7 and 8 in this diagram:

 

universal socket.

 

the nuts aren't stripped, i'm posting this up to ask before i try it and accidentally strip them lol.

I can't get a regular socket in there cause it's a tight space, well i can get the socket on both nuts but there's no room for a ratchet after that point..

 

maybe if you dont know what a universal socket is you shouldnt be working on cars?

 

one of those, and extensions and shit.
its not that hard.

 

^ also called a swivel socket.

 

but if the swivel socket you have is too bulky, as some are (mainly 1/2"), there is always a wobble extension

 

6" wobble extension.

 

ratcheting wrench

 

you can get to it with a 14mm open end. it's not too hard.
