RV6 clamp won’t move. Stuck.(solved)

[Neosky]

So I’m trying to install my turbo and I have to uninstall dp. I have the fp+dp combo from rv6 and the clamp won’t loosen no matter what I do with it. Unfortunately I only have 2 hands so I couldn’t capture other things I tried... see the attached image and video.

PB blast it or try applying heat

Or try prying it if you can manage

I don’t have anything to heat it up. What do you guys use btw? I’ve already used pb blaster lol

I’ll try your other suggestions tomorrow. Thanks.

I wonder if @RV6 has any suggestions?

Get the car on jack stands ( if it isn't already) & attack it from below. You'll have more leverage than trying to work from above. HTH

Bro just pry it over to free it up. You will then be able to spin it to an angle where you can undo the band more.

Just pry it and maybe tap it with a mallet. It should spring open.

Yeah. I tried that yesterday spraying pb blaster and prying it, it won’t work… put more pb blaster and let it sit overnight, put more pb blaster and wait atleast 15 mins and got it off by prying… Thanks, guys.
