Shanghai-S install, can't reach a nut in mani!
I've been patient, but I'm pretty damn close to getting the BEGi parts installed (save for diy ic, ms, wb02)!
It's in the middle, it's 14 mm. I can't get a box end in there without stripping it. How do you guys running the same mani torque this ?!

Lol, thanks guys . I see guys saying they finish in 12 hours or so and I'm already on my third day! It's not a race, but w/ summer school hw, work etc, I was really hoping to finish yesterday, oh well.

I found that the Sears Craftsman "Speed Wrench" in 14mm fits great.
Tried:
14mm Kobalt
14mm Pittsburg
14mm Snap-On
14mm generic thing from neighbor...
None of these fit worth a damn!
Was gonna grind one down and then found that the Craftsman Pro speed wrench thingie worked well.
Good luck with the install... I just did that step to my car yesterday too. (For the 40th friggin time, that is.) I hate car accidents!

When doing Tyson's we couldn't fit a box wrench between the stud and mani. An open end wrench was the only way.
