Sorry if this is a silly question - have checked but can't find a previous thread - what tool is recommended to take the exhaust nuts off? They seem rounded rather than a hex?

If you're talking of the nuts at the head, the it's an Allen key.

Good luck getting those off if they've never been taken off! LOTS of WD40, heat and patience to get them off, if you don't snap the stud or round off the nut first though...

A Dremel type tool to slice the nut off would be a better approach!

Nuts were fine, trying to get the exhaust collars off however was really hard work
