cool, the next thing im going to ask is….
do you do it when the manifold and downpipe is on the car? or when there both of the car? if u know what i mean?

can you get the tool in easy enough or is it better undoing the manifold and taking it of complete with the downpipe and then removing them when there of the car?

You can use the tool when everythings on the car. There should be a heat shield on the downpipe which I'm sure can be left on at the same time as removal too. I must confess I havent used the tool I've bought but probably will do soon!

You need to take the shield off of the drive shaft, which is easy , but even with the tool you will have fun and games, but it is about the only way you are going to get them on and off, keep at it it does work. i bought mine from toolbay
