Just my luck.

I can undo 3 of the nuts, but one of the buggers is rounding off....

any ideas?

[jimmas]

can you get a small chisel to it and try and chisel it loose, but make sure you do not chisel head right of if you can. may come loose after 2-3 hits

Sorry, I mean its the downpipe to exhaust manifold nut.

Not much room there!

Can you get a nut splitter onto it Trebor? :-/

[trebor]

Have to see if there is room.

My pleasure Trebor!  

Hope it all works out!  It is better than brute force (usually!)

The best tool for getting the nuts off the downpipe studs is a wall drive spark plug socket.....

As the name implies, the socket drives on the walls/flanks of the nut not on the corners.
