There are 3 bolts holding the exhaust to the turbo hot side. The vanes are stuck on the turbo Looks like you have to have tiny hands to get in there and remove the nuts.
I'd like to use the Easy off technique to remove these nuts.
My luck lately with removing nuts like this which will probably be stubborn has been:
1) Soak with your favorite penetrating oil for a few hours.
2) Come back and find that one nut (always the last one it seems) won't budge even with extensions, quality 6 point sockets and breaker bars.
3) Round the nut off.
4) Pull out the torch.
5) Watch it all go up in flames.
6) Pull out the fire extinguisher.
7)Call the fire department. (Not yet)
8) Lose a day or 2 with easy outs, drills, reverse drill bits, extractors.
Any pointers on removing these nuts? Tired of repeating this same routine on every automobile I work on.
Thanks.
