this is really grating on me now... i dont want to return it.... does anyone have any ideas? anyone who has taken off this h pipe knows what im talkin about.. the one bolt on the passengers side by the manifold cant get a straight shot at, and on my car is also seized. two questions now: how are you supposed to get this bolt off if it werent seized, and how can i unseize it? we tried the lubricant antiseize stuff as we were wrenching it, tried the impact gun (with the swivel head socket), tried torching it pretty hot and very hot. we are stuck. we cant just cut it because the stud would still be in the manifold which means the manifold would have to come down. also, how many labor hours would it take a shop to remove this bolt, even if they had to drop the manifold and redrill/tap the hole? please! someone help!! i dont know what to do.
