Hello all, I have a Range rover Sport 2012 diesel 2993cc, I'm trying to access the rear brake lines and need to split the exhaust to gain access, however the 3 exhaust flange bolts between the 2 boxes are rusted and frozen!
I have grinded the lower nut off one to see if the bolt will release but it is solid, does anyone know if they are threaded into the flange also? or if they are studds fixed to one side of the flange? or if they should release completely? (hope that makes sense)
