For the turbo on the om602.. I'm removing the exhaust at the back of the turbo on an om602.. The bolts at the bottom. There's no room for a ratchet to get it from underneath with a swivel socket or from the top. A wrench isn't working well either. There's NO room... Well what's the trick? Cause everything else has come along on my engine removal except this. I would be willing to cut the downpipe and re-weld it when I put the other motor in at this point and I hate hacking things like this.

Bolts? There should be 2 nuts that take a 12mm wrench holding the downpipe to the connecting pipe.

Extension and a set of swivel sockets from HF. A regular socket with swivel adapter won't work. This is the combination I used on mine.

Thanks Steve. That's what I think may be the issue. I'll pick a set up.

KROIL, PB Blaster or something similar first, then a 12 mm 6 point box wrench to break it free first, then a 12mm Gear Wrench to get it off the rest of the way has always worked for me.

I always use Permatex Never-Seize and new copper plated nuts when reinstalling after running a die over the threads of the studs.

For Suggestions !
