*UPDATE*Trying to install H pipe AAAGAIN!!!*UPDATE*
So now that I have the weekend I will be attempting to install it again. I have it on jack stands right now and sprayed the bolts once again and the socket still doesn't fit. Here are some pics of exactly what I am talking about. Now this is a 15mm and i just don't understand why it won't fit??!!

try getting your hand up in there if it will fit, and putting the socket on by hand, if that doesnt work try using a shallower socket, also try other non metric sizes or a 16, but make sure it fits snug

RE: Trying to install H pipe AAAGAIN!!!
I have tried ever socket that I have and and none fit even thoughthat is the onlymetricdeep socket that I have. No non metrics fit and the shallow sockets metric socketsare not deep enough. I guess I have the only car ever made with a unfittable nut. I am running out of options. Any other ideas guys??

If it was smaller than a 15mm nut then my 15mm socket would fit right over it. It has to be bigger than a 15mm. I am pretty sure that I have gotten all the corrosion of the nut so it might still be a 15mm but all the corrosion is on there that I have no idea how to get off. I wish I had a 16mm socket hopefully when my nieghbor gets home he will have one, or i will have to buy one.

I forgot to say but I actually have one of those gator grips but don't you think that is virtually impossible to turn that nut by hand with a gator grip?? [&:] But hell I'll go give it a try right now.

Here is my advice. You wont be reusing it, so cut it off. =P
As for the socket size situation, just try american and metric until it fits properly, if you dont have one that fits then use an adjustable wrench and a hammer to get it loose then use the closest socket size to get it the rest of the way out.
