So this Easter at my Parents farm I wanted to mock up my extractors from Henry.

Ran into a problem removing the stock manifold.

Got everything unbolted including the end nut next to the power steering (shaved ring spanner solved this)
So now when I try to take the manifold off, it hits against the bracket for power steering. I don't really want to take the belt and power steering pump off.

Just wondering how others overcome this???

Undo the bracket for the powerstering pump and move the pump towards the chassus and tie it out of the way. Can you do that? Might have to go out and look at mine.
 
I thought of that, but to undo the bracket, I have to take the pump off to get to the bolts. And to do that, I have to take the belt off, I might see if I can get a small file in there lol.

But let me know how you go NICEAS thanks.
 
Got it sorted, just spent an hour filing the flip outta the pump bracket. Then shaved a bit off my extractors, they fit snugly now.
