In the process of removing my downpipe to get it fixed, a couple of the bolts holding it to the turbo are pretty stuck.
Anyone got any tricks to how to remove them? I sprayed crc on them and tried... So I sprayed alot of crc on them and am gongi to have another crack at it later on. Just wondering if anyone has any easy fixes :lol:

Loctite Freeze and Release, works wonders.

Repco?
I'm a cheap cnut so it better not be pricey :lol:

Yeah, repco should stock it. I think from memory its like $20 retail, and you'll wish you'd bought it before you started.

They shouldn't have rusted up that quick

I'll see if the old man can get your downpipe welded up for nix.

If they're really tight, shock treatment - i.e. hit them with a BIG hammer, fast and sharp.

But being on a turbo, probably not a good idea

just use 6 point sockets, less likely to shift on the head than 12 points.

if all else fails heat is your friend.
