Full exhaust system..problems

[KummaZ]

If anyone has ever fitted a full exhaust system can you tell me how the frak you got the headers off? There is absolutely no room to get anything in there. I've managed to get a socket in there but god its on so fkn tight I can't move it..

Anyone got any ideas?

use a breaker bar?
use impact instead of constantly pushing it.
also, try using a single hex socket instead of multi one, will help prevent rounding of the nut/bolt.
have you tried a spanner as well?

[destrukshn]

still shouldn't be that tight, i got it off quite easily using a 3/8 drive single hex socket?
couple hits with my palm on the ratchet it was off.

Hmm i might run it for a while and see how that goes..weather is a bit colder here than normal.

Cheers for the advice ;)

its a pain trying to get the headers off for a jazz. there really isnt much room for u to work wth.

all the best.

Yeah no go tried that and this super heavy duty stuff that I've got..
Taking it somewhere tomorrow to get done..you guys must have been lucky with getting yours off. Mine I swear were put on with a damn rattlegun.

i had problems with getting mine off too, one of the bolts was on so dam tight!
had to get it done with a mechanic, and even then he struggled to loosen the bolt.

a mechanic strugglin to loosen the bolt?
there can be only so much tension on a 12mm bolt or was it a 14mm. quite sure it's a 12. lol.

[destrukshn]

shit aye, wrong thread. lol.
14mm nut bolt it should use anyways. lol.

lots of WD40 on the aimed thread or bolt/nut can help out.
Also Leverage if you can get it :)
