Normally end up cutting them and extracting....But great news if they will!Deep joy, the heads are mullered, I assume it's something to do with how they sit in the truck and being more susceptible to getting wet than the fronts. They look like they'd be fairly easy to drill and tap if I did get the manifold off although obviously it's easier if I don't have to.
What is manifold coming off for? Flipping it for top mount turbo ftw?
Oh and yeah flipping the manifold to high mount the turbo. Mainly cos I want it sticking out the bonnet cos I'm a massive chav?

Heat the head of the bolt to get the extractor to bite better or heat the actual head where the thread goes into it to get it to come out better? Or both? I'm gonna need another bottle of MAPP gas lol
Wish I'd of known the price of the exhaust manifold gaskets for this before starting with the fire as they are about £8 each and there is 6 of them and I managed to set fire to one already.
