Ok good to know what it's called. I'll try and get it off once the engine is out, I take it I'll still need it on the roadster for the engine to work properly? Also, theres another connection on the exhaust manifold itself, kind of a metal pipe that goes around to somewhere behind the engine. I can't really see where it goes and I'm wondering if I need to disconnect it before taking the engine out? (in case it doesn't connect onto the engine but something else). I've attached a couple of pictures of it. I tried loosening it but again it's on really tight and not really sure which of the hex's you have to loosen? (one closest to the manifold needs a 1 inch wrench, other is much bigger and not sure what size wrench as I didn't have one big enough to fit it).
