i just finished up my full TBE install
with the pb blaster i never even needed anything longer than the regular 3/8 ratchet
which bolts are you stuck on? for me the biggest pain was getting a technique to get the oem exhaust off the hangers...

i am officially best Bay area subaru impreza club nut stripper of the world.
it was the lower nut on the turbo. the intercooler was in the way and yea i kno i can take that off but i didnt want to deal with that.
i took off all the nuts but couldnt get the last one............................................... .................................................. .................................................. ............................................
so i put the other back on. now i have a stripped nut. yes just like that one time with the oil pan plug. i am a nut stripper. doesnt sound too good...
