LMAO!!! Jorge was back in Dallas

I hope so, thanks.

when i broke the demon bolt i ended up drilling it out. yes driling! took about an hour but its out!!

Did he just head the bolt? The stud? Or both?

heat*

The demon bolt can be any of the 6 bolts.......Hell 4 of my 6 were demon bolts lol.

I came in from the top with two 12" extensions and one of those swivel things attached to a 3ft breaker bar. Of course it was on tight but I'm a pretty big guy. Just put some muscle behind it and it'll come right out. Must use a 6pt socket! No exceptions!!!

Use 14mm 1/2" equipment only.

pound a turbo socket on there(those irwins are the same thing) they have saved out butts many times. IT HAS to be 100% on there or it will come off.

I used multiple extensions with a 1/2 impact from the top, zipped off real easy, I was wondering why... that lead to me finding the motor was replaced before I bought it used, never showed on the car fox, oh well, and it still uses some oil.

He heated the bolts, once one piece gets red hot the rest is hot enough

i did all mine from underneath. i think i tried the one from above and had less luck than i did when i tried from below. took me about a hour per cat to get off because of those stupid demon bolts. there may have been a sawzall in there somewhere :wtf2: lol

i used a six sided socket along with a couple of half-inch extensions. I was able to get a few off underneath and one off going through the bay.

it's a nightmare for sure

one of the screws i had to go at with a dremel to get it off.

Im glad I took my headers/cats off in one piece :-) when putting the tp's on (only had to install the driverside seperate) I used I regular wrench. With a u joint you can access the "demon bolt" by taking the tire and wheel well liner out. But I broke a 3/8ths u joint doing so...

I'm tackling this tomorrow (round 2!! Ding ding!!) I'm bringing my friend from that's a mechanic from Toyota. He's bring his nice tools, we'll see how it goes. I have my bolt extractors, torch and last plan of action my dremel. We'll see who the victor is by the end of tomorrow. Will post pics of the aftermath.

Thanks for the info fellas.

I thMine took about 4 hours top to bottom. I had a lift and I went in from the top to tackle the bolts. Both mine broke completely off. The remaining 4 were ok. Test pipes and catback all fit in nicely and everything was smooth sailing from there... except the 14 impact socket that I never found and ended up paying 22 dollars for it. lol... I pulled my cats and everything else from the bottom of the car with no problems. I have a couple pics up on my profile.

I think I remember a angle wrench with a slit cut in it as well....... hmmm.. it is still blurry.. lol
