14 HOURS TO GET 3 NUTS (photos)

Well everything is off and replaced
Well no it's not
I can't get the new pipe to marry up to the flange so it's off to the local exhaust fitters to finnish the downpipe the reason is you need to be underneath and at the side at the same time working alone it's not happening
But hear is the reason for 14 hours work 3 seized nuts in the most arkward places ever, and hear they are the little Censored

My advise is if you fancy it go for it but it's soul destroying by your self with 2 might be easier I doubt
Let's hope it's can be sorted at the garage
The good points are everything that came off is copper slipped now and I know what the underneath looks like Rolling with laughter next time it's a short break in Scotland up by disco mickeys place don't mind servicing and routine maintenance but this is a step to far for a diy grease monkey

Henda I feel your pain ! I've literally gone and bought a 2 post lift today to take the body off to get at the cross over pipe nuts which are like your down pipe bolts. Paradoxically my downpipe came off easily ! Jarrod

I've got some nuts like those, you could have had them for free without going to all the trouble of taking yours off Laughing It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Nass, it would be an even bigger challenge than getting them off Thumbs Up It can when others can't,
