the number "2" is not interchangeable with the word "to".

if your posts are difficuilt to read, they are less likely to be read. this is a forum, not a chatroom, and not a text message. please at least attempt to use propper grammar and spelling.

thanks,
moderator.

Well, if you can get a socket wrench on them, use a socket wrench. DUH!

Unless by wrench you mean the socket wrench itself. But if you can get a socket on them, then you can get an open ended wrench on them.

But in all honesty, I left the exhaust alone and detached the manifolds from the heads and let everything just hang in there. Expect to break a stud or two. And while you have the heads out, replace them with NEW grade 8 bolts.

Weren't you just told not to interchange "2" with "to"? Or did I not read this thread correctly?
