Re: [T3] exhaust system question


What you need to do is cut the pipe just where it enters the 46mm nut into
the heaterbox.  Then put the heaterbox in a vice... a STRONG vice, and heat
that nut orange hot, let it cool to just dark and put a wrench on it... it
will most likely come out.

You need an Oxy torch to do this.
