Any advice on getting rusted bolt off the exhaust?
 

I have already used wd40 and pb blaster to dissolve and lubricate the rust, but it would not budge.

How did you guys take the stock exhaust off?

Thanks

u got a torch?

:iagree: blow torch to red hot, spray some water on them and voila, they'll be more loose than a $2 hooker in TJ

I gave up after 10 minutes and used a sawzall and just cut the nut right off.

apparently you haven't experienced TJ Hooker.:icon17:

i drove mine, got it warm, got a beefy breaker bar and broke them both off. less than 10 minutes, done. when they go, they go with a BANG. so be careful you don't throw your breakerbar into something / smash a headlight.

I have read somewhere that people have had best results with a product called Kroil, same principle as wd40, but apparently much better. Google it up. GL

Spray it nice and good with WD40 and leave it for a while if you have time maybe even over night let it soak in nice and good and they should come right off.

Kroil is amazing. i've used it quite a bit on old vw motor rebuilds. like, 50 year old stuff thats never seen a garage. it works :tiphat:

I started to round the bolt on passengers side midpipe to Y connection, so i said F* it as well and sawzalled it too.With as much torque as it takes to get those bastards loose, 1 bad turn is all it takes and you are screwed. There is a black plate just before the Y pipe i think if you can get those 4 bolts out, and pull everything off the hangers, you could just let it drop.(once off cats)
I didn't have a metric impact socket, lesson learned. 5 hour exhaust removal, 20 min install ha.
