If you go into it having all the necessary tools, it's a breeze. It was for me, at least. The demon bolts just snapped off as soon as I started twisting them.

i was in a full garage/fab shop my buddy owns with any tool imaginable and it took 3 of us that long to get those 2 awful bolts to let go. i actually ended up slightly damaging the flange on my one of my cats because of it. damn you Nissan

You guys have me worried. Just got #612 after a short delay and will try install here in just a few hours. I'm worried about the cats

everyones seemed to have been different. most seem to have little to no problems. i may have just been unlucky. it shouldnt worry you. the only hard part is the tighter space to get in there when removing the cats.

please dont let my horror story of bad luck with my cats scare you. just sharing my experience.

Use a penetrating oil like Kroil or Pblaster on all 6 of the bolts and let it sit for at least an hour.

I actually let the bolts soak overnight with a coating of Kroil. I think it definitely helped as I got both demon bolts off undamaged!
