Cheers for the posts. For clarity the manifold was blowing a bit and the plan to nip the nuts up was to slacken off a touch, scoot with wd40 then nip up.  When turning anticlockwise to loosen, the nuts rounded with almost no force at all. The central manifold nuts are very badly corroded. Due to the risk of shearing and coupled with the fact that I have to watch rugby and drink beer this weekend said bike will be visiting the local garage next Wednesday. "loosey lefty righty tighty". ?

Ahhh now it makes sense, watch out because they may snap them and then want to charge you the extra for fixing. A few weeks with a penetrating oil as mentioned earlier would be the best way to go, I used an oil for cleaning guns and a is called Kroil  (creeping oil )its very thin and smells a bit of nampther from what I remember nampther smelling like , I applied it for weeks on to the nuts with a syringe to reach right in and behind the bracket collars also, my nuts came off ok but the bike has not seen rain for 17 years

I have made a profound discovery and have acted upon it.


My old socket set has been confined to the back of the shed, who the f--k thought it was a good idea to make sockets with a 12 point fitting when nuts and bolts have six points. they have a much less meaty grip on the bolt and Yamaha ferrous cheese bolts lose their corners very easily, so I purchased me a new socket set with 6 point sockets they are so much better than their 12 point cousins. Fuck you Hilka you are confined to the deep dark corners of spanner hell. :eek
