I tried that, I bought a new floor jack two extra jack stands and covers. I don't have any impact tools so I tried to use my Craftsmen sockets.
I pre spayed the flange nuts with wd-40. All of the bolts were on super tight. I started at the muffler to flange nuts. I was just barley able to loosen 3 of them. When I tried the 4th one it was so tight that the nut rounded off. I ended up cutting the nut off. I removed the muffler. I went to the do the next 4 nuts, got 1 off, super tight again. Went to do the next one and the nut rounded. Got mad and put it back together. I'm not a pro mechanic but i have done plenty of work on cars sport bikes etc. With out a impact and compressor they weren't coming off. Believe me I don't like to ever quit something that I start. But this time I knew when to throw in the towel. Anyway the new F.I. system is sweet! |

You cant try taking those nuts off with a 12 point socket set. it makes a big difference whether or not they round off

Psh just rent an extractor set and that rounded bolt will come right out. And look for like a Broom handle for more leverage on the socket wrench (rachet)

I installed mine yesterday went well, used all hand tools took about 4 hrs. I used that krisoil penetrant that bigaudiofan has suggested on another tread. As for the demon bolt I used about 3 feet of extensions had a friend hold a six point socket on them as I cranked the 3 foot breaker bar. Took a lot to crack them but after that was done the rest was easy...
Demon bolt slayed
