Hi guys,
Seeing as how 'tis the season to spend time with loved ones and family, I had hoped that I could spend this weekend fitting my new decat downpipe to my '99 Type R. However, I can't seem to get any of the bolts connecting the existing cat downpipe to the back of the turbo loose. Has anyone else experienced this?
Space is obviously limited but I have removed the intercooler and I've soaked them as much as possible in WD40 but there's absolutely no give in any of them.
This is the sort of job that I'd normally consider safely within my mechanical remit and I'm keen not to go through the faff (or wait, or expense) of taking the car into a garage to get it done. I thought it may be worth asking on here to see if there are any tips which may help before lifting the phone and admitting defeat.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
