Does anyone use special tools and/or technics to remove the 13mm nuts on the intake manifolds (dual port) on bugs? I've tried to loosen mine recently but will have to try harder<g>.

1/4 drive swivel socket or an open box wrench, nothing special. If it is an issue use japanise 8mm nuts as they take a 12mm wrench.
Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

I use the 11mm brass ones on dual carbs, because you can get a socket on them easily.
