Hi there, I am trying to remove my full termignoni exhaust and was able to get the bottom left and bottom right header bolts off but cannot get access to the top bolt to get off. I tried 10mm socket wrench, open or boxed end wrenches but cannot get access to it due to the tight space. What technique worked for you?

10mm universal socket, 1/4 drive... or you can perhaps grind down a 6 point 10mm socket, 1/4 drive, and use a wobble type extension.

Yes, they're a tight squeeze.

You can end up using a combination of spanners to get these off and on, depending how completely assembled the bike is.

DH's suggested small socket and flexible extension, and a spanner once it is loose. Take your time and you needn't mark anything. The nuts are copper-plated.

save yourself the aggravation a just grind down a 10mm wrench for the bottom right nut. It doesn't take much and makes it easier.

Thanks for the help guys, I went with a 1/4in drive with a 10in extension and a universal joint made it so easy for that top nut. For the bottom right nut, a 1/4in drive with a 10in extension with a 1/4in to 3/8in socket adapter and attached a 3/8in crow foot worked like a charm.
