spanners is how i do it mate put a ring spanner on the end of the nut then put a spanner on the end of the spanner to give you some extra lever lenth

thats how i do it and works a treat i undo it and then do it up real tight with a spanner on its own never have any problems doing it this way

use a spanner and it comes off fine.

make sure it is 16mm, if anyones had it off and changed it with a generic bolt then itll be a 17mm head, mine was

guess what, cant get the f**k*r bk on right :( lol, was fine for ages now its blowing n i need to tighten this MOFO up.
cause of the twisted design of the downpipe i cant get a socket on it.
thinkin the only way is with a stubby spanner unless any1 else has any suggestions

re used the old 16mm nuts m8,  could get to it with a stubby spanner for sure, just wondering if any1 has any tricks of the trade lol without having to melt a socket onto it  :laugh:
