i just bought a greddy evo2 catback exhaust for my 5th gen. and i was trytin to install it today, but when i got underneath the car and went at the cat conv. to unbolt teh exhaust from it, it would NOT budge. i tried tons of WD-40 and nothing not even a slight turn!!! i searched teh archives, but nothin was relavent to my problem. does anyone have any advice? thnx.

 

Try heating it. If that doesnt work, you are going to have to burn it off.

also try pb blaster</TD></TR></TABLE>

liquid wrench would work too.

 

can someone explain what all those methods are: pb blaster(heard of it, dont know where to get it), liquid wrench and breaker bar?

 

break it off..

 

Get a torch and heat it. Thats what i did with mine. USed a map gas torch, heated it for about 5 minutes, and used a breaker bar, and it came right off.

 

I did the same thing, it started fine, then about 1/2 way off the ****** snapped.. So be careful with the breaker bar.. i've been driving it with only 2 bolts on for about a week now with no cel or other problems.. can that bolt be replaced or do i need to get a new cat?

 

if the bolts suck use the craftsman extractors

oh and this has NEVER been covered before

green eggs and ham man

 

Have you tried beating the end of your wrench with a hammer yet?... that always works for me.

 

spray a little pb blaster or yield on it and let it sit for a while.

then grab a torch and heat that **** up for a while,
the bolts should break loose or break off then.

the wrench and hammer is always a good technique as well.

pretty much the same thing everybody else said

so you're telling him to apply an open flame to a flammable liquid about three inches from his face?

no i said let it soak for a while, not spray the stuff while you're torching it.

It's not gonna do anything except maybe a little bigger flame when
he puts the torch to it.

I've done it plenty of times.

he might want to have his face a little father away from the flame then 3 inches
