So today I just got my new Berk testpipe in, and I jack up my car and try to remove the cat but the bolts on the triangle side are rusted on. I broke off the square connector tooth on my socket wrench trying to get it to budge. And no, im not turning it the wrong way. What do you guys think?

 

take it to muffler shop ??

 

I had problems removing mine also. Have you tried some lube? I used WD-40 and it helped a ton.

 

Go get stuff called nut buster. works great, let it soak for five minutes or so.

 

get that can of nut buster and it works way better than wd-40. The look of the can can fool you since it loks cheap. BUT WORKS!

 

Or you can cut them off if they are to badly rusted to remove.

 

I can't remember if these are the pressed ones you are talking about. If it was me I would cut them, you would be better off replacing them anyways.

 

This has happened to me twice...both time I had to cut them off and replace the bolts. I've learned my lesson now! Nut Buster to the rescue.

 

I had the same issue last year with mine. For two days I soaked the bolts in wd40, but day 3 they came off. If this still does not work take a torch and get them so they start to turn red, you should have no probs getting them off then.

 

I soaked them with the nut buster stuff but they still will not budge, and one started to strip. I think I am just going to take it to a local auto repair shop tomorrow. I know the guy that works there so I don't think he will charge me much, if any.
