Removing x over pipe

[turboaddict2]

I want to remove the crossover pipe to check for carbon tracks indicating and exhaust leak. What size are the bolts? Any special tools I'll need?

I believe the bolts are 15mm and you will need a 10" extension.

You will need to presoak the bolts (PB blaster, WD-40 or other type of spray) before you try to remove them if they have never been removed before.

You can also save some aggravation if you remove the 3 most accessible bolts first (the two on the drivers side, and the easy one on the passenger side). This will allow the x-over pipe to move far enough for access to the last bolt.

14 or 15 mm and 3/8 drive with about three 6" extentions for pass
side.
