first off, is it OK to run without the MIL's for a couple days till they get in

and 2) how the #%&#$&*@^%&#^%#^_@##$$ hell did you get your nuts loose on the passenger side manifold stud? i mean WTF??? what is the easiest way to get in there...cause i can't figure out a good one. i was told to buy 3 unversals, a short socket, and pray for the best...

u need at least 2 extention(i use two 3/8 6"), and swible joint
and lots of cussing. might want to spray it with WD40 first, let it stand for a while befor u get to it. because of an angle, u can't apply as much torque as u would when your straight to parts.

as far as MIL goes, ya you can drive few days befor CEL comes on. i can remenber, i think mine came on in like 3(or about 50miles or so? sooo long ago, can't remenber)days or so

soak it in wd 40 and use a few extensions with a universal, stiffen the universal a little by wrapping it a few times in tape. USE A DEEP SOCKET 15 MM... i didnt have one and it was hell for 1 hour- i finally got it off by some miracle.
