Tightening Turbo-manifold Nuts

[soon2b33]

Hi, i removed my turbo heat shield due to a screeching turbo, to find a nut missing off the manifold to turbo stud, and the others were loose.

the oil line is in the way of the bottom left one, preventing me to tighten it.

Is there a way of tightening it, or will i need to remove the oil line and spill oil everywhere in the process of trying to get to it?

Thanks people! (going on a melb - syd drive friday night..)

no you don't need to remove the oil line.

you are best off using a uni joint and a short 17mm socket. ( i think they are 17 arnet they)

or you can get at it with a angled spanner and a hammer tapping from the top to loosen it. you only have aboutr a eighth of a turn from memory.

i have taken a turbo off like 5 times and have not had to remove the oil drain untill after removing the nuts.

good luck.
