HELP! Exhaust bolts wont come loose

djd84 · 09-02-2007, 08:26 PM

SO i go to put my new si exhaust on my lx yesterday but the two exhaust bolts will NOT come loose. I sprayed them to death with aerokroil lube (similar to wd40) and let it work overnite and still nothing. It felt like the exhaust was gonna rip off my car b4 those bolts would ever come loose. I definitely dont wanna pay pay someone to do this because itll take 5 minutes once those bolts come off. Has anybody else had this problem or can anybody give me some advice on what to do here?

go to a tire shop or exhaust place and ask them to loosen them for you.

maybe try some longer wrenches or a long breaker bar so you can get more leverage. I've never had a bolt I could get off with one of those. I've broken them, but they still came off lol.
