In Alberta, Canada: Stillen CBE

Systetiks · 06-18-2011, 01:28 PM

Picked up the exhaust and its really nice! Rikter is a good guy. Now I just gotta get the exhaust hooked up along with my Stillen HFC's. Anyone install your HFC's on your own? I am wondering about the death bolts everyone is talking about lol

Edconline installed and uninstalled his. Then when he sold his Berks HFC to Wheee!, he helped him with the install too.

That demon bolt (closest to the engine) is a real bitch. Those are the ones you need to access through the engine bay and loosen first. Soak the SOBs with lots of PB Release first (overnight).

Cool thanks the tip bro! I'll give it a shot i guess

thinking of renting a lift at U-Wrench to do it lol see how it goes

Bring a buddy to help with positioning the socket. Apply steady firm pressure when breaking torque. It will come off.
But don't forget the PB Blaster!

I'm planning on replacing it with a system designed by STS which will allow me to put my exhaust and Gen 3's up for sale so if you know anyone in the area interested pass the word along pls.

Then I must speculate that you're thinking about a STS rear mount turbo. I hadn't heard of STS until last week when I was at Lightspeed for my dyno tune and Cam mentioned it when we were shooting the breeze. Cool!

Anyways, sorry for digressing OP!

Also, make sure you use a 6 point socket set, not a 12 point. Just gives more edge to grip with and minimizes the likelihood of stripping the bolt...but like Wheee! said, a buddy helping you keep the extensions aligned properly is a big help.

Cats outa the bag now!

Dibs on the Gen III's...

It certainly sounds interesting. I'll have to see how Chinook's build goes and do some more research on my own. You'll like the Gen3s Wheee!
