How do you get the spring bolts off of the O2 housing when removing the stock DP?

 

ok I searched for you but couldn't find anything, what the promblem more specificaly. Are the bolts too tight, I think it uses nuts. You should just be able to unscrew it, If they're too tight shoot some wd40 on them, if the still won't come off torch em, or let the car get them Hot. But Im alittle lost on what the Exact problem is, do they turn free, are they stuck or What.

 

There are no nuts on it....it is so tuff to get off because the bolts gets so hot there that they cook in there....spray some PJBlaster on them to see if that helps, if they do come out more than likely the threads will be messed up and you will have to rethread it and put in a bigger bolt to get it back on. Good luck

 

Use a good impact gun. I have not had a problem with them on the many Evo's i have worked on. Good luck.

 

I just used a socket with an extension and a lot of strengh. They are tight but they'll come loose. An impact works good too though.

 

You bet you will not be able to put those bad boys back in....if they were that hard coming out more than likely the bolts and threads will be messed up.

 

The down pipe bolts connecting to the o2 housing are a bi*ch, but they will come off, and your threads should not be messed up, now once you upgrade the o2, its even more work to get the bolts back in, it is time consuming but they will work

 

Thanks guys, finally got the *****es off and put my turboback on! Sounds so good.
