Got the 2 "demon bolts" off but I am wondering how to get the other ones off, my car isn't high enough off the ground to get enough leverage, do I just keep spraying pb blaster on that and keep trying? Also the bolts that are mounted towards the outsides of the car have the heads facing towards the front of the car. I have no idea how to even get at them.

Just in case anyone reads this, my car has 70,000 miles on it. Everything is rusted to **** since I daily it in Illinois lol.

Last thing is, if I break or cut the head of the bolt I am totally ****** right? Since these retarded bolts have threads they wouldn't just fall out??

I can't believe I would ever say this, but my pos RX8 was easier to work on that my Z. Really unhappy with level of engineering for what I consider to be an expensive car.

Might look for a shop nearby to do this for me but I kinda hate paying someone for the labor since the test pipes only cost me $80.

If anyone reads this and can help in any way please let me know.

Thanks!
Take the intakes off and go at it from the front of the car. Use lots of extensions mentioned in this thread. 1/2" equipment. PBblast the snot out of them.
