How to remove twin scroll from manifold?

To those who have removed it? How'd you do it? I can cut it out, but I dont like having to cut things out. Is there somthing I'm missing?

I cut off the out side arm and drilled out the shaft. (stuck a drill bit in the hole and didn't stop the drill untill the falpper fell out) I then tapped the hole and ran in a grade 8 bolt and tourqed it down to 120 ft/lbs. Nice and clean.

I hope you realize you need to remove the turbo (at least) to do this properly.&nbsp Just bang the lever with a hammer, and this will torque the thing right off.&nbsp The lever is just brazed onto the shaft, so it's not that strong.

The rest of the write-up is here...
