    Manifold - Downpipe gasket/sealing ring

    Hello!

    Well, i know the gasket needs replacing and i tried to do it once on ramps in a garage. Got the driver's side bolt undone working from under the car. I moved onto the next bolt and couldn't get to it without a 'wobbly' adapter to put on the ratchet's extension bar, and as a result, i think i may have rounded the bolt a bit...

    is it possible to replace the gasket by only taking one bolt off and sliding the it out, then sliding a new one in?

    or shall i take it to an exhaust place and let them loose on it with the oxy?!

    Cheers people!!

    James :D

    i didnt think it would be at the time, so now that bolt is a bit rounder than most bolts

    I'll take it somewhere when i go home next week then!! I just prefer doing stuff myself, but ur right, spose it will be value for money!
