Default Midpipe Help

I recently purchased an SLP o/r x pipe to go along with my loudmouth 1 catback. Now im having a lot of trouble getting the passanger side of the x pipe off. I cant seem to get to the damn nuts, no longer get them off. Can someone please help asap. I cant search as it would take to long with dialup. Thanks jeff

You need a swivel and extension to get the bolts off. An impact wrench is helpful.

I got an extension and a swivel, i still cant get to it and when i do i dont have enough leverage to get it off. By the way what exact size does it take if any one can chime in.

Just unplug the 02 sensor and take them off when the midpipe is out. They can ba a PITA to get off. If so, heat up the pipe with a mapp gas torch in the 02 sensor area and they should come right out.
