intake and exhaust manif remivale

[Denis]

  Well, i shocked before removal and worked good.
  But the first i strip i had to drill it and unscrewd easily.

  The problem now is the  4th cyl 12 mm  bolt that i cant access !! just
close the down pipe...

  I think i must remove the engine left support first , to get enought place
to work, then use a key.

  The bolts are rusted so smaller than 12mm but to big for 7/16... i used
7/16 and a hammer to pu it in..

  Ðenis

  Any better solution to remove the last 12mm bolt on the 4th cyl. ?
