Exhaust Gascket leaks

I have the slip joint on my CM870 leaking and I've contemplated taking the two bolts out and see if I pull that joint apart without pulling any of the other exhaust manifold bolts or the turbo. It would be quite nice if I could actually do that. Other than that I think the job can wait till the turbo needs changed or I find a better reason to pull the whole thing apart. Everything else is good on it.

I hate to break it to ya...but you're dreaming!
Even with the manifold clamped to the workbench, separating the end sections is a bitch!
If the manifold has been on for any length of time, there is NO movement in the joint seals...unless they're compromised.
Sorry.

To the OP, Sorry to you as well, but you're going to have to pull the manifold to have any hope of success of not causing more or worse problems. If the turbo to manifold gasket IS NOT leaking, you can pull the mani and turbo as one and change the gaskets.
Once again, if it has been any considerable length of time since it's been off, pull the turbo and change the manifold seals as well all at once. The seals are what seals the two end sections to the center piece. I know it's a royal pain in the @$$, but if you don't you'll hate yourself if you have to 6 months from now because you've developed a leak you could have prevented in the first place...
