    So, has anyone ever had to remove an ATP T25/T3 manifold?

    Scratching my head here...I don't even remember how I managed to get this thing on 2 years ago, but I sure as hell can't figure out how to get the top nuts off.

    Can't get a socket, open end wrench or box end wrench over the nuts.



    I'm sure someone here has had to deal with removing it - any ideas?

    Don't need to worry about the bottom ones, all the bottom studs broke off.

    go buy an offset wrench and put it to a grinder to thin the end of it so you can squeez it in there.
    after thinning it, cut out a small secion of the bottom to make it somewhat open-ended.
    should be work perfectly.

    this is what you want, just to clarify:

    Havent taken it off yet, but used a short stubby wrench to put it on (about 4" long total length). Worked perfectly and didnt have to be ground/bent/mutalated whatsoever!

    it's much more difficult on transverse 1.8t's but the offset thin wrench would probably work without being ground down. it helps to have a circular end instead of open-end

    what about a crawfoot. it looks like an open end but has a 3/8 hole in it to fit either a ratchet or extension. i think that should work
