I take the exhaust manifold out to renew the gasket and I have just one nut to undo but need a special spaner for this job. Where I can buy this spaner.Need an answer ASAP.

you either need a cheap one you can "modify" yourself or buy a 12mm half moon spanner -

You can also get to it if you remove the starter motor, then you can use a standard spanner.....

Trust me on this one as I am sure many will vouch. You will spend hours with a Special Spanner.

Just go straight for the Cole Chissle and a mallet and replace the stud and nut. job done 20 mins top!

I can't use that kind of spanner because I don't have space to fit a round end just a normal one. I need the same shape half moon but with normal end not round one. .Any chance to find one to buy? I think the exhaust manifold is not standard one it is more like rs2 one but is more dificult to take out.

I just removed an RS2 manifold a few months ago. Used a normal spanner that i cut very short. Short enough so it would fit on the nut at just off vertical position, then i took another spanner and used that to wedge on to the short one and undo the nut. Took a couple of tries but worked a treat.

Good luck.

I would just bye like 5 x 12mm spanners and a gas torch and make the tools your self. Some adjustments can be done with a anglegrinder too.
