Removing trap-ox tube
Has anyone had problems removing the manifold to turbo pipe on a 603? I am working on that right now and that thing is really stuck on there. The nuts and bolts all came off fine....any advice? I did use some PB blaster, and might run to the store to get some kind of wedge to try to pry it off while hammering. Anyway, any help is appreciated! Don't want to be out there fussing with it all day if I don't have to.

Ps, it is not the actual trap ox, but the replacement pipe. Just to clarify...

exhaust parts are always the hardest to remove. i would make sure you found all the bolts, then start tapping it from different sides with a hammer (ideally a brass one, but i think you are unlikely to damage the manifold even with something steel).

Got it, with a combination of PB blaster sitting time and a deadblow hammer. What a pain!
