Wow, that CAT is a a PITA....at least for me! I sprayed the bolts a few times leading up to the first attempt, but no luck today.
Changed the oil to AMSOIL SIG SERIES with a flush and changed the o2 sensor in the manifold (with a AC Delco one of coarse).
Go figure the thing I thought would be the hardest (the o2 sensor) wasn't THAT bad. :wootwoot:
The cat on other hand, especially the bolts at the manifold end, were just tight as can be and without a lift, we could not get any way to get a break bar in there to show it who's boss.
We Didn't bother trying to get the 2 bolts loose at muffler end, if we couldn't get the 3 at manifold end loose. Will give it one more shot in next few days and dare I say it....pay for the first labor on this TB.....
****Also, the box the cat came in had a sticker that said "Gaskets included" but I only have one "donut gasket" in my box. One end of the pipe is "flanged" though, so maybe it doesnt need one and the stickers plurality is a typo?? Has anyone bought the magnaflow before and remember if they received 1 gasket or 2?
