Cat bolts
So long story short the bolts that connect my cat to my exhaust pipe were so rusted they didn't even have threads anymore and I had to air chisel them out, now atm I have new bolts in there but I can't really truly tighten the upper one, the one on the drivers side, any help?
|
why cant you tighten them???? are they the right thread???? you could drill out the threads and use a nut and bolt
|
Sorry I wasn't clear its late, I am using a nut and bolt, there is just almost no way to get the wrench in there in the back to tighten it
|
hmmm... can you get vice grips on it at all
|
you could also get bolts like these

Exhaust bolts are rarely removed. An exhaust shop won't even try they will just cut it off. Your best bet is to visit a tool store and try to get a tool that fits to hold it while you turn it. Can you post pic?
