Up Pipe

Up Pipe
The up pipe has cracked on the flexi-joint and needs replacing as it is blowing - can anyone advise me on how I go about changing it?
I am compitent with a spanner but would like to know what needs to be removed in order to gain access and what needs to be done in what order etc.
I understand the break servo needs removing in order to gain access - is this true and if so will I have to disconnect the break lines which will then mean bleading the whole break system on refit?
All advice greatly appreciated.
Have been quoted £470+
Thanks
P.S any ideas where to get an up pipe? Can be a new standard one or a stainless item?

To get to the up pipe u need to remove the down pipe too, u could get one from here as someone may not need there old up pipe, it could be tricky as some of the bolts may seize up etc, but u could call one of the local tuners for a better quote..

Thanks.
I have changed the downpipe in the past so it should not be too bad to take it off again.
So it needs removing does it, anything else I need to remove...?

No need to remove the servo or any part of the breaking system.
Remove down-pipe and headers, un-bolt up-pipe from turbo(5 bolts),Un-bolt offside engine mounting and jack engine up about an inch maybe two.Up-pipe will now come out the bottom.
Quoted £470+ Wow someones having a laugh.I'll do it for £200 all in

its a ******* to swap too!!!!
there is an o2 sensor in the uppipe too which you wil need to take out, and it really is a pain unless u have the correct tool
and make sure you give yourself a lot of hours to do it.
