Xc 90 intercooler charge pipe

[p.j.]

Anyone know the best way to remove intercooler pipe between resonator and intercooler? I've tried everyway round can't get it out as trapped on the subframe. Any ideas gratefully received

You have to bend the tag down where the front of the undertray bolts , possibly take off the cast iron weight from the top of the subframe too to help clearance .

Ah, now I can see how that would work. Do you recommend heat first or a cold bend? Thanks Pete.

It will bend down with a big pair of pliers and bend back up without leaving a trace of being bent ..

Time to get the big pliers out, thanks Pete.
