HELP PLEASE
im installing new donut gaskets in my up pipes and i cant get the last v clamp off the back of the turbo. its the one that holds the turbo to the v collector. i've sprayed with wd40 and tried everything i've been held up on it for 3 hours. any advice on how to get it off would be great. i also broke one clip under the valve cover while doing the 50 cent mod. i think i may have it temporarily fixed but does anyone know how to fix or replace that also. thanks

PB Blaster would be MUCH better than WD40, but it is what it is... Do you have a "hook" tool, or slim/small flat blade screw driver? What you want to do is get a small hammer or similar item you can swing back there, tap that clamp in as many places as you can, then use your tool to "pry" the clamp away from the babies butt. Let us know how that works.

i finally got that clamp off and changed out my o rings in my turbo pedestal. then i found more trouble when i couldn't get the bolts out of the up pipes. now im running out of time to work on it since i have to head back to cookville so ill put it back together and let someone install the new gaskets for me.
