i cant get my 1/4"allen wrench in the bolt head to loosen the right side allen cap screws holding the manifold in place.
i was able to break the rear one loose but cant get another bite on it.
Cheers!

Yost and a few others make a nice ball end manifold wrench https://www.denniskirk.com/yost-perf...SABEgIw-vD_BwE

Or go to Home Depot and get a garbage disposal wrench https://www.homedepot.com/p/InSinkEr...N-00/100135761

Yup, you need a ball end allen wrench. BE ADVISED, you CANNOT torque them down like a normal allen wrench. Even the top dollar Snap On ball end allens will break the ball off.
