Just need to know what size, and if it is regular or deep socket.

Looks like the bolts wont be too hard to get to, just a matter of getting enough leverage to break them loose.


Edit: Talking about the exhaust manifold and the nuts that need to be removed to swap the mid pipe.

Exhaust manifold is what I assume you are talking about, I also assume you are talking about the ball joint bolts.

I beleive they are 13mm.

Yeah I think I wrote it so it was a little confusing, sorry about that.

Im talking about the exhaust manifold, not the actual bolt itself but the nuts on the bottom that need to be removed when swapping a midpipe.

I tried 2 different sizes that looked very close to eachother and one was too big, one was too small.
