Dcolehenry Posted June 7, 2021 Report Posted June 7, 2021 First time poster/new member! I am currently working on my soon-to-be father-in-law's '51 Cranbrook. It belonged to his late son and I am marrying his daughter soon, so the stakes are high (to me at least!) with the car having immeasurable sentimental value. It has a leaky radiator and exhaust manifold leak (I would prefer it if he didn't die of CO poisoning, especially since it is his DD). The radiator is no problem only having about 4 bolts and a few hose clamps, but getting the manifolds off is proving difficult. All the nuts (surprisingly) came off with ease, but I can't seem to separate the manifolds from the block and am scared of damaging something with a pry bar. Any tips??? Carb is of course out of the way, just trying to do it the right way without creating any further damage! Quote
rrunnertexas Posted June 7, 2021 Report Posted June 7, 2021 There is a nut under the center exhaust port... did you find that one and remove it? Quote

That is exactly what I was looking for... pardon my ignorance, I'm new to the Mopar scene and am trying to learn. Thanks for the help! Quote
