http://public.fotki.com/blackfnTTruck/charge-pipe/ Decided to strip and clean up the charge pipe: Went for the brushed look, too many machine marks to keep it polished. http://images.fotki.com/logo3.gif http://public.fotki.com/blackfnTTruck/charge-pipe/ http://public.fotki.com/blackfnTTruck/charge-pipe/partscoversstripper005.html Stripper used. Took about three applications

Used suggestions from the forum, slid dull screw driver in and around the pipe to loosen it.
