Well I have spent 5+ hrs trying to get this mother off and I got two bolts loose the third just wont budge. Pb blastered the hell out of it for 2 days and tried taking it off with an impact wrench but it wont budge. Is there anything else besides taking it to a shop and having them cut the bolts off?

 

if u have a dremel, cut it off urself..or get a huge breaker bar and just break the bolt.

 

this is gonna sound crazy but here's what i did:

i sprayed pb blaster into a baggie until it was about 2 in high (liquid). i got some duct tape. taped the baggie around the exhaust so the bolt was submerged in it. next day, i slipped that thing off with my bare hands

 

If i break the bolt how will I get the other part out. I dont have an air hammer.


I might try that pb blaster trick and if that doesnt work ill dremel that mother off

 

I had to dremel mine off as well. Once you take both sides off the remaining piece should pop out with a punch and a good whack with a hammer

 

Did you guys physically remove the whole Cat from the header and work on it outside of the car?

Tonight im going to soak it after I run some errands, and use the dremel if that doesn't work



thanks for all the help so far, the next step is springs...hopefully that goes alot smoother

 

Lol poor rickmaru

 

yes

 

Ok I am still having a bit of a problem with the exhaust I have extended my hangers but sometimes when it idles the piping after the cat hits the floor board I was trying to find out where I can get some insulation to fix this problem but I have no idea what kind I would be looking for.
