I just got my y-pipe in yesterday and i went to install it, and i was able to get all the nuts broken loose EXCEPT for one which was being stubborn and we ended up stipping it. Is there anything i can do to get it off without having to take it to a shop? PLZ help

 

Did you try using some form of penatrating spray?

 

Liquid Wrench .. Or a drill

Proph

 

yea i used a rust penatrating spray, but i guess it didnt help much for that one bolt

any other ideas?

 

Its probably so frozen that you'll need a torch to try and heat it up. Get a small cylinder of MAPP gas from Home Depot along with a nozzle.

If that doesn't work, then you'll need to take it into a shop and have them torch it off with an acytelene torch.

 

i guess that ill got get some sort of torch in the morning and try that out. Thanks

 

We had to torch all 4 of my cat's bolts...

 

same thing happened to me and in the process we crimped the nut on with vise grips trying to get it off. torch did nothing. so what i did was very carefully grind a side off the nut with a small cut off wheel on a dremmel tool, carefull that you dotn go too deep and hit the threads of the stud. once i got it down pretty far i hit it once with an air hammer and voila.

 

which bolt are you refering to? the 14mm bolt under the rear header or the 14mm bolt on the cat?

if it's the bolt under the rear header, you should have use pivot socket to help you remove it.

if it's the bolt on the cat, you should have use a breaker bar to help you remove it.

 

its the one on the cat. i was able to break all the ones on the headers loose.

 

Torch them, its more fun that way

 

will vice grips take them off? or maybe find someone that owns a dremel

 

well earlier today i tried vice grips but that didnt help at all. SO tomorrow morning im going to take it to a shop and get them to install it.

 

dude, if you are like me and hate taking your car to the shop, go to sears and pick one of these, http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...id=00952160000

good luck!!

 

thats pretty cool but i already dropped my car off at the shop this morning. And besides, my mom offered to pay for it, so its all good.
