Manifold removal

[S B C]

Can anyone tell what the trick is to remove the rear manifold SUPPORT BRACKET?

If you've done it, you will know that there is a bolt through a tube at the top of the bracket that supports the rear end of the manifold where it bolts onto the turbo, but there doesn't seem to be a way of stopping the head of the bolt turning when trying to undo the nut.

I had expected the head to be captive, but it's not.

Any ideas please?

I remember this (them changed it for some thing sensible) you need to grind down a spanner to lossen the nut and cut down the allen key so you can get it in.

If you do lots of jobs on your Noble you will end up with a range of tools ground or cut down for spacific jobs,
