I've seen this issue posted a few times in the past but wanted a fresh take. I was installing an RMM and torqued the nuts on the Downpipe Bracket too much and one snapped. I don't see a way to get it out and I'm not sure hammering it out is a good idea since it's connected to the Turbo. Is the best option to get it cut and have a new one welded on? I saw someone suggest putting a socket an c-clamp over it to pop it out but there is not enough space for the clamps I've tried.
Is it safe to drive around to a shop, and since the torque is so low (evidently, the manual says it only needs 17 ft/lbs), can they just cut it off and weld any similar exhaust bold in its place?
