    How difficult is replacing my front exhaust pipe going to be? I need to replace my whole exhaust system(1995 SR5), so I'm wondering if I am going to need to take anything else off to be able to get the 4 bolts out that hold the front exhaust pipe on. Any Trips/Tricks or helpful links are appreciated.

    or you can use a pneumatic grinder. X2 on repalcing bolts. new hardware use anti-seize compound on threads. Good luck, We're counting on you!
