Rep Power: 309

I've got my car on jacks right now and i'm trying to take out the stock downpipe extension on an LX but the bolts won't budge. I've tried WD-40 but it's gotten be nowhere. Anyone have experience with removing the downpipe? I just can't get it out.
btw...i'm trying to install cat-back. Any help is much appreciated.
thanks

Heat the bolts with a torch, use air tools, or a breaker bar... any of the 3 should get them off. Mine came right off with air tools.

wait, you are taking off the down pipe to put on a cat-back exhaust? i never touched mine. it went from the cat back.

Is it because you have an EX?

yes it is. i didnt realize the lx was different in that reguards, but now that i think of it, i remember ppl always asking about using the ex exhaust and stuff like that.

so in other words, nevermind, ignore my post

And now for the other bolt

Its tough isn't it man. We broke my friend's Craftsman Wrench trying to take of the bolts off of mine.

i think Craftman has lifetime warranty on all their tools. just bring it back to sears and they should replace it without receipt

Yeah, that took a while. An impact wrench would have really helped you out. Too bad you didn't have one. Oh well, done anyways.
