exhaust manifold
i have a 91 240sx and can't get the exhaust manifold off, i tried to drill out the bolts but could not get the drill up in there and they are too rusty to just take off. can anyone give me advice on how to get them off?

Re: exhaust manifold
First lightly tap them with a hammer and a punch or a drift, and then SOAK them with PB blaster. YOu can also try using compressed air and blast it with ice.
I wouldn't use it though, you might break them.

Take pics, keep us posted.
Good luck.
Another way to cheat if you don't have a breaker bar is to use anything that will increase the length of your wrench (ie a pipe that fits over the handle or another wrench) and be gentle as you torque it off. Doing this will greatly increase your available torque without increasing the effort you put into it.
