Loosening Turbo/Exhaust bolts
This might be a stupid question, but I am curious how many have had trouble getting the bolts loose on their turbo/exhaust down pipe mount. Looking at mine I would not be shocked if they have not been loosened since the truck new. I did shoot a bunch of WD-40 on them tonight and will do so again tomorrow morning. I didnt know if some one had a trick on getting them loose with out snapping them off.

Thanx for the input, I did soak everything with WD-40 last night about 3 x and again this morning. Once I had the pipe out from under the truck I was able to break the bolts free easily. BUT I decided to loosen the V-Clamp and take the pipe loose that way. I ended up breaking the bolt on that clamp. I even had sprayed it too. So now I am waiting to get a new one tomorrow. The nearest Dodge dealership that had one in stock was 3-4 hours away. I checked with all the local semi dealers as well and basically no luck either. So I ended up ordering thru the local Sterling dealer and should be in tomorrow.
