haven problems taken mine out....it seems they were put on w/ an impact gun is this true??? do i need one to take the oem one off to be rebuilt or replaced???

 

Which bolt are you having trouble with. The top bolt(long, thin bolt) and nut, I believe 13mm should come off with two wrenches, maybe a breaker bar. The bottom bolt may be harder to remove because of spacing, but I remember getting mine off with a breaker bar to start it. Good Luck..........

 

yea i guess i should grab a 4ft bar first b4 i give up and tw it to a garage withthe right tools thanks... and i was talkin bout the top one

 

I just used 2 wrenches on the top. That bottom bolt is annoying though because you in only turn it "yey" much every time.

 

BFH ???

 

Spray on PB Blaster first to eat the corrosion. Then breaker bar, if you snap the bolt in half, who cares, it will come out and just buy a new one from the hardware store.

 

nah its out...i used brake cleaner to get rid of corrosiion, then instead of using a 3/8ths drive w/ 17mm deep socet i used 1/2 drive short socket and broke free jus fine i guess it needed more leverage...but im good now, its being rebuilt by a company and will be ready 11am 2marro.....then i jus gotta put it back on and ill be good to go.

hey do any of you guys know of performance mods to these cars, its a N/A 2.5l 4cyl....looking to get rid of the cat and free up exhaust gasses then try and make a CAI setup for the intake ....then after that im stumpid cant find anything to give extra 20-35/40 whp....could any1 direct me into what im asking for?
