How do you pull the exhaust manifold
 

I'm removing my GReddy kit, and I got all the nuts off the manifold, removed the downpipe, but can't get the stinkin exhaust manifold off :vash: any tips?

The manifold has probably warped and is squeezing the studs. Some people have had luck using a wooden wedge driven between the runners to spread them enough to remove the manifold.

If that doesn't work, try double nutting the studs and removing them if there is enough thread.

when that happened to me i had to cut a runner and warp it back ;)

warp it back?

Removed the manifold by removing the studs. What a PITA!

i bacially had to cut a section off the runner and hit it back in with a hammer....it was bad.
