Take open ended wrench, apply torch, bend. Or order Pete's manifold and skip all three steps. :checkit:

It's just a wrench with a really bent/angled head on it. You'll figure it out when you're installing it. :checkit:  |

harry, remember, as shitty a job as this seems, there are cars that are far, far harder to work on.
the 1.8t really has a lot of room to work in.

most wrenches have a 15 degree bend. bend it at the factory bend. hope that makes sense. you need the angle to keep from hitting the head.

I would always "port" the area around the studs to make putting the nuts on easier. It still sucked, but I could at least get the box end of the wrench on there(once it was bent. Also, I had good luck with a 1/4' Snap-on swivel on an extension, opnce the manifomd was clearanced around the studs.
