Are there any tricks to getting the crush ring out of the end of the X-over pipe where it connects to the turbo?
I've sprayed it a few times with PB, and used a blade and a screwdriver to try to pry it out. Also tapped with a punch and hammer to try to wake it up. No luck. Any tips?

That sucker's in there good. It doesn't spin at all. I ran a sharp blade around the edges to break any rust and crap that may be holding it in there.
I just tried drilling a small hole in it. It's either made of undrillium, or my bits are dull. Hardly put a dimple in it.
I sprayed it again with PB, and I'll give it another whack tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm sure something will work.
Funny thing is, the one on the downpipe came out without any effort at all.
