BERK HFC's install not going so great.

Musashi

Dude I just installed mine with 2 friends. If you are having a hard time I think you should save yourself the aggravation and take it to a shop. One of the top bolts on each side is a nightmare to get off. Take a lot of extensions, breaker bar, and a friend under the car to guide the tool onto the nut. Please be careful.

I hear everyone on the top bolt nightmares, but I guess I didn't specify above that I've already removed one of these bolts from the top (I have the frankentool all set up per the DIY, 1/2 inch all the way), true it was on the passenger side and it was the one that looks like a nut rather than a bolt head.

I'm actually less concerned about these than I am the ones that need to be addressed from the bottom.

Also, the nut on the Y-pipe I'm having problems with is semi-blocked by a brace that runs accross the bottom of the car. This brace is preventing me from getting a deeper socket on and still have leverage to break it.

Gonna get my dad involved tonight, he's got a little more meat on his bones, oh yeah and he was a mechanic for like 20 years.
