I must be missing something. Is this the bolt in the cat itself? If so that really has nothing to do with the removal of the cats for there is a nut that has to be removed off the stud (or star shaped stud). The wording from the OP is hard to understand what he is referring to.

Yeah I think two per cat are bolts and one is a stud threaded into the hole on the header. Therefore, you just leave the stud there, remove the bolt and then re-use the bolt when bolting the new piece up.

The top of the stud (engine side) I believe has a star fitting so you can unscrew it though.
