Title: Removing Downpipe from Monifold - Tips or links
Post by: FirstTimer on February 20, 2012, 12:16:18 AM

Been searching for an hour and can't find anything on how to properly remove and reinstall the exhaust downpipe that attaches to the exhaust manifold.  Looking to remove it so i can get the oil pan out.  Again the links I did find made it sound easy, and its not....
Thanks!

They weren't seized but they were rusted, I looked like Peepy Longstocking after getting them out  :-[
Not something I want to do again anytime soon!
