Given your circumstances, an appropriately equipped shop might be the prudent thing to do. That said, if you're trying to save the $100, do you have all the necessary space/tools/jackstands to do this? I live about half an hour away from you.

Some local speed shops that you may want to consider if you go down that path: MR Performance in Westbury, Performance Auto Solutions in Deer Park, JMR Garage in Bayshore.

Yeah I tried WD-40 on them, but it wouldn't budge. I should have all the necessary tools... wrenches/ratchet/jack/stands.

I just emailed Invidia to see if they sell the nuts/bolts/gaskets separately or if they could provide the proper specs for them.

I'll wait to hear back from them before I decide whether or not to take it to a shop. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know if I need more
