how to remove exhaust manifold

[arbiter]

I am removing the exhaust mani but with no success. The last bolt still stand there. I've read about removing the heat protector of the direction pump but I am unable.

AS you can see I have started removing a lot of things all around there.. because I can't get that plate out!
BTW, how can I remove the oil dipstick?

Wait there... I will finish you sooner or later.


I saw a bolt on the inside part on the inner part of the pump bracket.


Using the wrench started to bend it, and the spanner part doenss't fit in a so tinny place.

i took off the turbo first actually. unbolted it from the downpipe then undid all the various lines and hoses. then i unbolted it from the exhaust manifold. then i undid the manifold from the motor. no problems.
