[DML] Re: HELP! - STUCK IN THE EXHAUST

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Exhaust work is the WORST! Pulling the engine is a lot of work, don't
forget the A/C compressor has to come off and hang somehow. I use an
acetalyne torch to make things come apart easily. It has never failed
me on stubborn fasteners. It is a little tricky to get the cross-over
pipe out but it can be manuvoured to come out. It is best to just do
the whole system as long as you have some of it apart and you have all
the tools out and you are dirty. Pull the sensor if it is in the way.
I pulled the whole exhaust system out without pulling the engine to do
the twin turbo set-up and once I broke or removed all the nuts, studs,
and bolts it was EASY! BTW pulling the exhaust was the hardest part of
the turbo install! Use Never-Seize when you put things back so it is a
little easier in the future.
