+1 on redass' double post PB blaster is good stuff. Impact always helps and that is the unversial I was talking about.

I used a deep well, a universal joint, and a 12" extension and could reach all four bolts. I also used PB Blaster and an impact. Iused a 22mm open end wrench to remove the O2 sensors prior to dropping the pipe. It made it 100 times easier to get your hand up in around the passenger side bolts, especially when trying to thread the nuts on during re-install.

yeah thats anotther question i ment to ask can i just lengthen the rear o2 sensors with some wire to allow them to reach the holes on the pro chamber? or should i just cut the wire and say the heck with the o2 sensor and just useem to plug the holes?? it is an o/r road mid pip so its gonna send a check engine light anyways

A 3 ton jack's handle makes a hell of a breaker bar . If that thing can't break a bolt I'd like to see what can. Gotta be careful not to use too much torque with it though. If you do too much without soaking and it's REALLY tight it'll pop the head of that bolt right off with how much torque you can get with that sucker. Slides right onto socket handle too.
I'll probably borrow a buddy's impact wrench but it may be just as easy with a socket and the jack handle on most of these. I'm gonna go ahead and run by Advance Auto tonight and try to get the gasket I need, or at least get them to order it then pick it up tomorrow so I don't have to deal with places being closed for Christmas when I need to get parts. I'll grab some PB Blaster while I'm there also.
