I have removed the turbo bolts mounting it to the pedestal. I have removed all but two bolts to the down pipe elbow. I have removed two bolts holding the up pipe on.
I cannot remove the last 6 bolts to get the up and down pipes off.
The two on the back side of the up pipe, I can only get a wrench on the top one, but I can't put any torque on it due to the firewall. I've even tried a J shaped wrench I use for my IP. No dice. It just falls off.
The down pipe bolt on the top, right next to the arm for the wastegate wont come loose. I've doused it in pb blaster, hit it with heat, smacked it with a punch through the back of the flange, and every time we get torque on it, the wrench eventually just falls off.
What's the secret guys? And I can't pull the engine or the front clip. Space doesn't allow.
