PB Blaster as many bolts as you can after you jack up each side. Then PB Blaster again after you get the car on jackstands. Drink beer. PB Blaster again. Drink beer. Loosen bolts with simple hand tools. Drink beer to celebrate.

You guys are amazing! 
You can jack up the car, removed rusted on exhaust and cat, install new test pipe and exhaust, and lower the car in less than 20 minutes by yourself? I'm getting old I guess.

Plus, I'm not a noob with a wrench.

I always forget that I have the hobby shop. Frame lift for the win.

We have an awesome hobby shop, relatively new, but I normally do most of my work at the house(work is 26 miles away).

Confused... why are jacking the car up and placing jackstands two different procedures? Use jack on left side, place jacks. Use jack on right side, place jacks. Done.

Just to create another opportunity to spray the bolts. I jack one side and place stands as well. I would reach under right after I jack and spray before placing the stands. Let those soak as I get the other side situated and then spray again once on stands.
