How do you remove the down pipe on a 1997 F350 with a 7.3 power stroke?

Spray the nuts under the truck that are just behind the cross member with PB Blaster a day in advance and again when getting ready to remove. Unbolt and remove clamp at turbo and remove 2 nuts mentioned before. Cut the down-pipe as close to the turbo from underneath as possible. Remove both pieces. If you want to get it out in 1 piece pull the transmission.
