        • I was thinking maybe polished would look better on the manifold as then it would tie in with the cooler piping, then maybe some sort of polished goods on the left side of the bay (reservoir or something)so that the shiny parts flow across the engine bay

                Careful with rattle guns becuase they have the potential to sear the bolt.

                Get a long breaker bar and put a pipe on the end for extra leverage.

                Also consider making a small incision on the bolt with an angle grinder. It would help reduce the structural integrity of the bolt which would likely help to reduce the resistance.

                  There is a rubber gasket, they are re-usable depending on there condition. What ever you do, install the gasket dry, don't use a sealant, it'll make a big mess and is not needed

                    Its a nut on the end of the shaft. I think either stock rim and a pole to hold it or big grips on shaft ane rattle gun.

                      Either that or put a spanner in the groves of the brake disk - jams nicely against the caliper. Do prefer the bar between the stock wheel because the spanner can end up popping out.

                      • Gave it a wash and a vacuum, cleaned the leather seats, put on brushed ali ash tray (thanks tomtom_r32), rotated the wheels and tightened up the top nut for the shock absorbers in the front - passenger side had come loose and was making clunking sounds. Feels much better now

                          Hey Lito, is that wrinkle paint a spray paint - and where do you grab it?

                          Cheers.
