Turbo bolt won’t come off
Hi, I have a 07 e320 and I’m doing some maintenance and the bolts to my exhaust won’t come off. I’ve sprayed PB blaster and still no success. Any tips or anything that could help me get this sucker off?

use acetylene or Mapp without the oxygen. If the bolt is not a stud and welded to the flange, torque it until it breaks in two.

You need a bigger hammer. I recommend the Milwaukee 2767. It's 1400 foot pounds of torque which is more than most air guns which are in the 300-600 range. Only thing more powerful is an Ingersoll Rand at 1500 but those are more money.
