Rambo Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm trying to replace my cat converter but I can't get the damn spring bolts off. They just spin, but make no progress coming out. Anybody have a good technique to deal with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveT Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Use a cut off disk to cut the bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
