I need a little advise on removing the rear heat exchanger from the cylinder head. I can get the outside nuts off but having trouble getting to the inside nuts on the inside. Can someone help with the best way to access the nut? I am almost to the point of cutting the heat exchanger off. Any suggestions would be appreciated

A 13mm on a LONG extension will get one of them (can't remember which side) and an S shaped box end is needed on the other.

...and when you reinstall, use the thinner and smaller 12(?)mm copper nuts.

personally I hate those copper nuts, they do make access easier, but you have to use the wrench all the way in or out instead to just the last tightening (or first loosening)and use your pinky finger for the rest of the threads
