Retarded coolant line bending question
So I'm stuck here. I have the manifold bolted up, the downpipe connected at the catalytic converter, and I can't really get any leverage to bend the ******* coolant pipe. Do I need to suck it up and take the manifold back off again so I can remove the pipe? Any recommended tool/method? I can't fit the downpipe with the coolant pipe where it is.

Well you only have a couple options.
1. Get a 6pack of can o man and a straw, suck it up and pull the tube off.
2. Cut the tube to clear downpipe
3. Pull off manifold which is what your going to do.
The middle nut takes what 10 minutes to pull off? Do it once do it right.

Weird, seems like the bracket is hung up on the manifold when I try and pull on it. The pipe itself can't move horizontally seeing as it's constrained by the bracket and it can't move much in and out given that it's still stuck in the mixing manifold.
I am seriously mechanically retarded, so thanks for putting up with this.

Use one of these bad boys jammed up against the manifold, and it'll make that pipe seem like it's made out of aluminum foil:

I went to the gym on Friday for the first time since Aug. I did deadlifts, overhead presses, and pull-ups. My whole body is still sore, the weight was significantly less than I used to, and I feel feeble and impotent.
