alright guys, after finding a crack in my manifold, i decided to take it off, this is probably the first time this maniflod has been taken off, it was stock when i bought it...anyways, i got as far as the picture shows and then spent about an hour working those damn things...PB Blaster was used, i let it soak while i was doing other things and i added more during the process.

well i started to strip both the bolts and the sockets im useing...im out of ideas...anyone got a helpful hint?

On the subject of burrs...don't forget to make sure it is for aluminum. The steel ones tend to be fine fluted and gum up quickly when used on aluminum. A coarse fluted one will work much better on Al.

No!

He's porting steel. None of this stuff is aluminum (mani, turbine housing, O2 housing). But he's right in that you don't want to use these burrs on aluminum.
