I'd had an exhaust manifold leak for a while and a nut that wouldn't accept a socket.
Well sir, I ground down a few sides on a socket which gave enough room to tap it on.
I'm 56 & don't enjoy crawling under cars like I used to, but I did it! And I replaced the gasket instead of not using one, per the factory. Head looked like it was painted with the gasket on, so a new one soaks up surface imbalances; no more embarrassment!
