hey guys as some of you may know i am starting work on my fpr. but hit a stag straight away i am trying to remove the coolant pipe closest to the fpr. i have removed the pressure clip but cannot get the pipe to budge. is there anything i can do to get it off because i think brute force might damage the pipe

If its the one that goes into the bulk head can you not get a flat head screwdriver and push on the edge of the pipe and lever it off

That's a bit drastic, you still have to get the remains off, i find a pair of grips with a little wd40 first helps every time, but if it works for you
