Bolts on exhaust manifold
Albert wrote: I need to take off an exhaust manifold and its got these strange looking bolts holding it on, that sockets won't fit. Can someone tell me what type of wrench or socket I need? Thanks for any help I've attached a picture. After closer examination, under that rust, it takes a 14mm deep socket, or end wrench. My sockets are too short so I'll use an end wrench. |

You might get it with an end wrench but don't discount buying one or a set of deep sockets. Where do you live? |

I only need to take out those two bolts to take the head off. The end wrench worked. I did order a 14 mm deep impact socket on eBay. |

Thanks for offering, I'll understand if you can't make it. eBay is great for saving money, and they ship right to my door. YouTube has helped a lot too. They have videos to solve almost any problem. Now the water well quit working and had to order new control box. Tried some dubious old parts, start & run capacitor, relay, they didn't work. Hoping new control box will do the job. The start capacitor was obviously blown. Power was getting to control box, but not pressure switch. Had huge wasp nest and ants inside breaker box, for water well, but doesn't seem to be cause of trouble. Happy trails |

I fired up the pickup that hasn't run in a while and had a little excitement with the exhaust got hot enough to set fire to the wasp nest. Missed that one when I was hosing the truck down with wasp killer. I've learned the hard way to stick the nozzle into the tailgate latch and giving that a bath before trying to open it. The yellow jackets haven't evolved enough to realize that stinging a human is going to start a war they can't win. |
