Since i have some time waiting on my new manifold to come in the mail, i figured i should ask before attempting and possibly stripping these two nuts. I broke all the the others loose without a problem. I can't get a 14mm socket down there anyway i've tried on either of these. Is there a tool i can buy that would make this easier, maybe like a ratcheting 14mm thin wrench or something?

That may work. If not you could try going at it from under the car or reach in from the side of the manifold. Sometimes bolts that you can't get from the top are really easy to get at from the bottom.

Yea i figured that, did have the car on jack stands after taking the two heat shields off and i can't even see the two nuts from any angle i tried . I'm hoping that someone who has done it before could give me a hint lol
