How hard are these things to replace?

Also is there anything else I need other than the manfiold and the gasket and bolts?

manifolds pretty easy tbh, nuts can b a bit of a bastard to get...driveshaft will have to come out for downpipe tho

I'm replace it with a supersprint i've bought swervin!

The driveshafts have to come out!!!!!

How difficult is that, sounds hard enough within itself?

Jon, on the spanner scale, how much harder than the airial???lol

danny you sound like a girl, just get your crap clothes on, book a week off work and go at it hell and leather :D

not hard mate, just WD40 all nuts and bolts, get a mate to help counterhold some of the bolts.

I don't understand why the shaft has to come out?

because its a Clio... and it's French... to be honest I'm amazed that this doesn't require the engine to come out... everything else seems to! lol

it depends....if the fanimold and downpipe are coming off....then u dont need to remove the shaft.....if its just the downpipe..........then u do....or i did last time anyway, couldnt get enough clearance

Can get it off without removing shaft but you have to be careful as you can't get on one of the nuts square.
