rusty bolts on exhaust

[96EXCIVIC]

does anyone know of any good ways to get them off
i tried some penetrating oils n a chisel but still wont budge

 

[roaddogg3034]

youll prob have to break/grind them off and get new ones.

 

[96EXCIVIC]

sunday im gonna try a impact gun
think that will work
cuz i cant break the spring assembly in front of the cat i need to reuse that

 

[mattvivsound]

Yeah, try some power tools before you resort to cutting.

pb blaster... way better then liquid wrench
spary it down and let it soak for a few hours. you should be set

x2 on pb blaster. I had an old escort that had lugs that had to be torched off. After torching a few and getting tired of all the work I got some pb blaster and sprayed it and let it sit a few times and they came off.

ey nigga just 2 words and 2 numbers, WD40

ha ha or just grab a socket and slam it on with a hammer, then grab your wrench and put in on the socket and youre good! thats how i took mine off

 

[Jas0nEK]

Nah WD40 sucks compared to PB Blaster. But I just took my car to a muffler shop and had them make the bolts molten. They fell right out, it was badass.

breaker bar with good metric sockets.

 

[Docta2002]

POWER TOOLS!!! or buy a new car......

 

[EM1FTW]

just double wrench it and break them.
thats what i did.
whatever part gets stuck, if any, you can get out with a hammer or dremal with a cutoff wheel.

 

[96EXCIVIC]

thanks for the help but i ended up having to take it to a shop cuz i dont have any torches or s**t to try n get it off
the guy had to heat it up n then drill them out they were f**king stuck in there
only cost me 190 for work n a new spring assembly n some bolts

 

[xxsenceo89x]

190 for exhaust bolts?

 

[Jas0nEK]

Yeah holy s**t... I had the bolts taken care of and a new exhaust hung for $60.

only 190? LMAO

 

[96EXCIVIC]

not for the bolts for the whole install of headers n exhaust with a new spring assembly

 

[Jersey8]

dude you couldve saved so much money just by buying a $4 can of pb blaster and doing the install yourself. not hard at all

 

[zb12691]
