Default Can't get turbo manifold off!!!!

I can't seem to get 2 bolts off. The way my manifold is designed, the 2,3 runners curve upward and block the area where I need to take the bolts off. I can only get them off a little, and I need to take my manifold off. What should I do? Do I have to cut the nuts off? Please help, thank you.

remove all the bolts, then loosen those two as much as possible. Pull the manifold away from the head as much as possible so that those bolts have more room to move out farther. Continue until they are off.

Unless I'm confused about your prob, that should do it for you.

Are you sure this isn't a British car? Sounds like the way my MG is put together. TurobMiata's suggestion is about the only way. Be careful to use an open end wrench on those nuts when re-assembling. You can sometimes get a box-end trapped where it won't come off.
