hey guys,

this is my first time on this site and i need some help. Im having a really hard time getting the bolts off that attach the y pipe to the exhaust manifold. there is little to no access to these and i am replacing the y pipe. if you guys have any tips to get them off i would appreciate it.

 

i think i remember seeing the guys a BITOG say acetone and ATF make a good rust loosen er. and maybe others. but dont forget to use anti-seize compound an ALL threads on the bottom of the truck, going back together.

 

I used a cutoff wheel and just got new bolts when I put new flanges on
