Default Question on Exhaust Removal

I am in the middle of getting my old exhaust off and replacing it with LR's exhaust. What is the easiest way to get the flange that is between the DP and the Cat off? I can see two of the bolts and the last is way hidden. Right now I have it soaking in PB Blaster. I figure 1 week is a good amount of time for it. Any quick tips on actually getting to the bolts and not breaking them off in the turbo DP?

What, you're soaking it for a week?

The longest anything ever needs to soak in PB Blaster is overnight. 24 hours in PB Blaster and you could probably unscrew the Titanic by hand.

15mm socket + swivel head + ~1ft extension + breaker bar... or a long handle ratchet.

+1

Just need to be carefull when undoing the last bolt because it will drop and it's fair heavy.

Thanks! Hopefully I don't break the bolts off in the DP. Well see what happens this weekend . It has been very scary taking off 25 year old bolts.

Apparently you've mistaken PBBlaster for ICE!
