[s-cars] Turbo to downpipe nut

[Fred Munro]

Igor;

That nut is a definite problem. The Bentley solution is a 15 mm half-moon
wrench bent at a more acute angle. There's a drawing in the Bentley
somewhere. I looked it up after the trouble we had getting the nut off my S4
for the clutch job. I took the car to the dealer for the job as I didn't
fancy doing in under my carport in subzero weather and the dealer lets me
work on the car along with the tech. We used a flex end 15 mm socket, but
had to go through several manufacturers to find one that fit - I think maybe
we ended up with a Snap-off. It was a long "one click of the ratchet at a
time" to get the SOB off and on. The tech decided he hated working on UrS
cars after that experience - it's a good thing I have the only two in town
:). I'd say the Bentley suggestion would be the way to go.

Folks,
what is the preferred method of undoing the lower inner nut? Yeah, that
hard to reach sumbich, the 15mm one. The three 17mm ones are easy to get
to but this last bottom one is driving me crazy.
