154 exhaust manifold removal

[hinkle]

I just bought a 154 and i need to replace the exhaust manifold. i was able to remove the 2 end nuts but i cant get any of my sockets or wrenches in to remove the 2 middle nuts....is there a special too i need?

i took mind off with a box end wrench, it's close but it can be done. good luck. tomcat

I used a box end on one, and a crows foot on the other.

The best wrench that I use for the inside nuts is a 9/16 "offset" boxend that was in my dad's collection. You don't see these old style wrenches anymore.

My dad had a couple of wrenches that he called "half moon", and used them for manifold and starter, etc. work! thanks; sonny
