Seized manifold/downpipe bolts!

[topher]

well the tdi has a big inlet manifold in the way for a start, removing your inlet isn't gonna help
plus you're not trying to unbolt the downpipe from a turbo

Haha ok fair enough

Well, what way do you suggest going about removing these extremely stubborn nuts? 

So tempted to grind the fekers off haha!

So tempted to grind the fekers off haha!

if it was me i'd have probably done that by now

[Xtrhardcore]

haha dont temmpt me 

[Xtrhardcore]

Any other ideas on how to get these stubborn bolts off as still no luck?

Heard about some Irwin socket sets? How do these actually work and are these gunna be my prolem solver?

 This is turning out to be one pain in the backside!

they will work you just place them over if not tapp them over and trust me it will remove them. i removed the thermostat housing on my fiesta with them and they were allmost round the bolts, tapped the irwin over boom first time out!

[Xtrhardcore]

sweet might have to get some, looks like they come in like a 5 socket set? Am i looking at the right thing?

Take it to your local friendly exhaust place. They will probably fit it for you for a tenner or so (and probably burn the bolts out with a torch).
