plusgas all the way and shocking the bolt with a hammer also moving it wit a ratchet a bit at a time worked for me on 12yr old suspension
take your time plenty of plusgas and bolt shocking and it will come loose

all vac pipes renewed
wastegate actuator working
took the pipe off the turbo and out came a bit of oil checked for play and theres around 1/4 inch of play in it
intercooler pipes leak oil badly
engine is breathing heavy

vac pipes and others here...

ebay
internal dimention 3mm....vac pipes
e bay number....261313702106

why touch the plastic link pipes if there in good condition.
and the factory vac pipes had nothing securing them.
ive replaced all mine with silicone has shown with no problems what so ever.

like i said
e bay number....261313702106
silicone hoses 3mm internal diameter
spot on mine now been done a few days and car runs great
well worth the money and doing the job.

yes its just that over time the original rubber hoses get brittle or perished and go bigger bore thus leaking or falling off

no need for hose clips
trust me they wont come off or move
