Demon bolt slayed! (2022 update)

JARblue · 06-03-2022, 10:10 AM

That seems like an excessive amount of work and I do not know if it would help.

The demon bolt is accessed from the top but you'll need a swivel to get the correct angle. I used a 14mm 1/2in swivel socket, a bunch of extensions, and a 24in breaker bar. I might have even used a second universal swivel. The bolt head sheared off with very little effort. The swivels were Snap-on impact grade - the HF ones broke apart.

I was thinking with the whole cat out of the way, you could maybe get to the demon bolt from the bottom. Thanks for the info though.

There's not much to get to as it screws into a nut that is welded to the catalytic converter flange.
