[quote="Gerry H"]Hi Lee,
It's to get to the top nut & bolt, of a three bolt flange, that attaches the headers to the up-pipe on a Scooby. There's no room for a spanner to get any leverage.

One side (by collector) can only be held with a short open ended spanner. The other side I used a fixed Crescent shaped spanner but the amount of movement is minimal and the angle makes it very difficult.

When I fitted the engine back into the car, at Stu's lock up, I used his Halfords Professional half moon ratchet and it was a doddle.

I've bought all my latest spanners off Ebay. Britool, SnapOn and some other manufacturer i've never heard of but has turned out to be an excellent buy.
Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! :rant:
