What happens here

The creator begins by demonstrating how to remove the bolts from the stock exhaust manifold using a ratcheting wrench. He explains that for initial removal, the wrench provides optimal torque rotation without offset. He then advises applying anti-seize compound to manifold bolts before reinstalling them to prevent future seizing, which is common in high-heat applications like exhaust manifolds.

Goal: Remove the stock exhaust manifold bolts and prepare for reinstallation.

there my favorite tool for the job for doing headers manifolds anything like that it's a good old-fashioned ratchet wrench because you get the most direct like torque rotating angle on the head of the bolt it's not offset at all like a socket is and i mean obviously when you're gonna do these the first time they're gonna be a mofo to get off and you may not be able to use a ratchet wrench in that case because it's too tiny but once it's already off and you got headers on there or something put anti-seize on your bolts it is so awesome because you can just take a ratchet wrench you know crack it loose get a couple cranks in there and you can generally get them out with your fingers yeah let's get this bad boy taken off i'm really eager to test the fit up on the uh super cheap chinese log and see how the turbo bolts up like where it fits out under the hood and everything so let's go i'm not even going to put
