I bought a 1/2" ratchet, 18" breaker bar, 14mmx1/2" socket, and two cans pf PB Blaster.....

Breaker bar wouldn't fix because I only had one single small jack and the car wasn't high enough but sure enough the PB came in handy. I got those nuts off with the quickness.

I must have been extremely lucky then - all I used on the bolts was about a 12" ratchet drive and one arm most of the time and I'm NOT a decent size guy.

I'm gathering the tools now to do a hi-flo cat installation and believe me the bolts holding the cats in place are a PAIN!!!!

Glad to hear you got it going and hope the DIY was of some use.
