ok, so i got my car all jacked up about a foot in the air. im putting on a new o/r x. i have a bbk catted h on there now, so the bolts came off really easy. the only problem was the passenger side bolts. their not rusted or anything, they are just soooo hard to get to. how did you guys get to them? what tools did you use? i tried for a good half hour just to get the socket to match up to the bolt and its just soo tight in there i couldnt even untighten it. like i said, its not rusted on there or anything, i jut cant get to the bolt. can i get some pointers? thanks!

It's really a straight shot if you get it at the right angle. You can always get a swivel and that will make it easier.

you need a 3/8 swivel socket to round the angle and somelonger ext's

Yep. A swivel and extension will get you there.

i used a 3/8 with a swivel and an extension it just would match up. maybe it would be easier on a lift? because i was literally laying under the car.

15mm deep socket (this isa must), 18-24" worth of extensions and the swivel joint. Should be able to easily get at the nuts.Be creative in the way you position yourself under the car. Youll be surprised at how accessable those nuts can be.

Get the car as high off the ground as your stands will allow and get a good light under there so you can really see what you're doing.

btw, why are you swtiching to a bbk x from the h? Ive heard nothing but complaints about them.

what he said, and bring along some cuss words. they seem to help a lot when doing a midpipe install

i installed my catted slp x on my back as well, I just used a long extension a u joint and an impact wrench. the passenger side is a bastard to get off.. especially in my case with the auto tranny being bulky as hell=/
