Ok so removing the stock cat...

How were you guys able to get to the bolt on the driver side? There is a bar obstructing the bolt so my wrench can not lock onto the bolt?

Thats what I did to avoid the bar.

My demon bolt besting apparatus was arranged like this:

1. impact socket (6-point of course)
2. then a 1/2 inch universal joint (to help get around the steering rod)
3. a 1 foot long 1/2 inch drive extension
4. another 1/2 in drive U joint (had two so I figured why not)
5. a 2 foot long 1/2 in drive extension
6. finally a 1/2 in drive breaker bar

I had soaked the bolts in Kroil the day before which helped I'm sure.
