Hi all,

Could do with some help. Struggling to get the inlet manifold off.

I've taken off and disconnected a lot of things.

Seems like all that is really left is 2 nuts under the manifold which I can't get to enough to undo them.

Hoping to get it off by today or tomorrow so I can get it painted and clean up any leaks/parts under it.

Not sure if you can see them here, but couldn't get a better pic sorry. Someone please advise on what I need to do now?

Bump!

Anybody?...

I can get more pics if needed, just want the inlet off the car.
Someone must've already been through all this hassle by now that can give some help on this?

Thank you.

Never played with an injected M10, but I've had a look at a carb. M10 in the workshop, and can't see any potential problems on that. All eight nuts appear to be easily reachable with a 1/4" socket and a suitable extension.
