Wanted to get a good luck at the actuator, turbo, decat and manifold today.

Got the decat off without much hassle,all the manifold bolts (mani to head,mani to turbo),all the water lines etc.every pipe except the oil feed return bolt nearest the block. It seems the oil feed metal pipe is block the bolt and even with a few different knuckles,flexi extensions and a few different size spanners i was no closer to getting it off.
Now i seen on the other end of it the 27 bolt on the block but i dont have a 27 spanner (only have up to 26),is there any way around the metal pipe or do i just need to buy a long 27 spanner?I probably could have forced it off but was wary of breaking it as its quite important like

Cheers

Dan

I have a long 28 and a adjustable (don't tell anybody, bloody hack tools) up to about 30mm

Ive a few adjustables,one is bigger than my arm haha
But i wouldnt risk it,end up shearing the head off the bolt,i must have went through about 20bolts on my first GT by using cheap tools,never again lol
