DIY: Berk Technology HFC Install

JVerge5363

Excellent write up. I must admit I was a little concerned at first with how tough the Demon bolts were going to be, but everything went pretty smooth. I was installing Motordyne ART pipes coupled with a Berk CBE. I started out by running the car for about 5 min. and then spraying down all of the bolts with Kroil, starting with the demon bolts. From there I started breaking loose all the bolts from the cats back allowing soaking time for the demon bolts. Used open end wrench for O2 sensor. No need for O2 socket. Using a long handled 1/2 wratchet with impact sockets made this job a lot easier. When it came to the demon bolts I used a 24" impact extension, 12" impact extension and swivel socket. Used the handle from my floor jack as my breaker bar and the dreaded demon bolts were a piece of cake. No broken or snapped tools.

Special thanks to Fred Beans Nissan for great pricing, Tony at Motordyne and my 8 yr old son who stayed up until midnight (way past his bedtime) to help me. He couldn't wait to go for a late night test drive
