To remove the stuck clamp I have used a long flathead screwdriver, a hammer and some pb blaster. Are you removing the collector??

Gotchya. When I did my up pipes a few weeks ago I stripped most of my bolts. As long as you can bust the head of the bolt off it will come apart.

Not only is that wheel toast, it's STOCK!

Get a billet wheel from RiffRaff or somebody, please!

Plus the big o ring that seals the perimeter of the housing, best to go new there.

I never remove the bolts from the collector. Just the clamp at turbo. The pipes almost always fall out of the collector by themselves.

For E99, the collector is re-used - so those bolts do require extraction and it usually sucks...
