EB downpipe will not come off

[Shahmir]

Purchased a downpipe from CP-E and I have been trying to take off the stock downpipe for the past two days. I have gotten all of the other bolts off except for the two connected to the turbo. I got the bolts halfway off but they just jam up right there and no matter how hard I push they will not come off. Anyone else have this issue? How can I get these bolts off

I had a similar issue with one of the studs on the turbo when changing my downpipe. I HIGHLY recommend getting some PB Blaster and liberally spraying it on the studs/nuts. You can spray it, let it sit for 5-10 minutes and then spray again. Whatever you do, don't do what I did, and force the nuts off with a breaker bar. I ruined one of the studs and needed to buy a stud extractor tool to get it off the turbo and put a replacement on. PB Blaster should help a lot.

i sprayed down some PB blaster on it and let it sit for 15, im going to spray more on it and let it sit for another 15, then see how it goes after that

Solved. Plenty of PB Blaster helped the bolt slide right off. Thanks for your help!

When putting the new ones on put some copper anti seize on it. It will make things easier in the future
