Hi all,
Need a bit of help. Had an exhaust leak so took the downpipe off from the manifold.
Found a 2nd hand manifold in a scrapyard. Bought new springs and bolts. When going to put it all back the springs are too long. The old springs are slightly shorter (I assume as they have been compressed over the years).
So the question is, how the dickens do I compress the springs enough to get them onto the bolt so I can get the nut on?
Thanks in advance
