fitted my new rear strut brace.
replaced my uppipe ( what a mission). everything was going sweet, i'd taken off the downpipe and headers easily enough but then there was one nut holding the uppipe to the turbo that wouldn't come off. i tried CRC, rattle gun, blow torch but i ended up burring it so i tried vice grips which didn't work, i couldnt get the grinder in there to grind it off so i ended up having to drill the nut to pieces. i replaced it because it had a leak, i thought it might have been a small hole in it somewhere but when i pulled it out it fell in half.
When i went to put the replacement in the same nut was still on it and after the CRC and blow torch didn't work on that one either i ground it off without wrecking the stud.
It took 5 hours to replace the uppipe
