TROGDOR! Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 So I found out I have a rust hole in my crossover pipe. I went to pull the one out of the parts car- unbolted it from the heads, unbolted it from the turbo, and found that it wouldn't slide out between the crossmember and the head. I ended up having to unbolt the passenger side motor mount and jack the engine up about an inch before getting it out. This was on a mostly dismantled parts car. My drivable RX is most definitely not dismantled, and I don't want to spend forever putting a small pipe on it if I don't need to. Any easier way of getting this pipe out?

Turbone Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Nope, no other way. How long did it take to remove the one bolt and jack the engine up :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 i never had to do that....just ahve the front end jacked up about 2~3 ft up...and the RF tire off the car...and then you can rotate the header into the 'just so' position and it will slide right out. Ive done that countless times. a WRX on the otherhand...you do need to jack dat chit up to do the up-pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
