I am in the process of removing my old exhaust manifold from my 2000 Civic Ex d16y8 and bolting on my new header. In about 15 minutes I was able to unbolt everything except 1 thing. There is a bracket or sumthing one end is bolted into the bottom of the exhaust manifold beside where the manifold and downpipe meet and the other end is bolted into the block. If I could undo this bracket the manifold would fall out but the bolts are STUCK and also are very hard to get to. Ive tried WD-40. Any one know the bracket Im talking about and has anyone had this problem? Any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated.

 

PB Blaster > WD40
let sit for awhile
use a 'breaker bar'

Sorry guys I got both of the bolts on that bracket to break loose about 5 minutes after I posted that. Thanks for the replies tho.
