Thats the thing with those crappy ratchet type spanners, you cant fit them into anyplace where they would actually come in handy

My tip is to move as many pipes out of the way as possible before tackilng that one - it saves a lot of time. Instead of 5 degrees of turn, you will get about 20 degrees.

i disagree - they've been friends of mine ever since a very kind brother of mine gave me a set for my B-Day. roll on october, cant wait to see what i get next.

the size 19 ratchet spanner will definitely help with removing the banjo bolts for the water pipes, but not much else.

the bolts that hold the manifold to the head are quite easy, except for those two bastards in the middle of the bottom row! other than those two, its no big deal i reckon!
