Default Catalytic Converter Bolts

Are the bolts that attach the Cat to the exhaust removeable? Mine are done after 3 different exhausts and need replacing.

They are kind of a pressure fit, not too unlike the wheel studs. You can "hammer" them out.

once they are out they can be a pain to get back in. They do come out and you will need a hammer (helps if the bolts are cold and ya spray some lube). If ya have trouble fitting the new ones ya just have to file the crud out of the opening.
