    I use this quick method when I don't have time for hand washing:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DKC6IY6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Then I fill it completely, undiluted with this:

    Yup, I put it in and used a hand powered screw-driver. They are on realllll tight. I just sprayed them with some bolt loosener.

    EDIT: The bit is fine, the star on the bolt is what got ruined.

    Dang, hopefully that does it. Be careful when installing the hardware that came with the bakflip their screws are made of butter.

    I got my exhaust reroute done this weekend. $83 out the door and he took me as a walk-in on a holiday! Babes and Lightning Muffler in San Jose. Everyone else in the Bay Area I called (who were even willing to do it...) were 120+. The work looks good to me. No rattles or codes. I got the first skid on but was lazy about the other two. I'm nervous about drilling holes in the frame for the cross member. I want to make sure I protect them from corrosion. Does anyone have a suggestion for what paint or whatever I should use?

    Better have lights, or is it really an approved "meso" product?

    I stripped out one of mine installing my Bak Revolver. Ended up using one of these bad boys to get the stinking thing out:
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NGTLM4...t=&hvlocphy=9029023&hvtargid=pla-318198613386

    Definitely takes some effort to get them out. I ended up using a good torx socket bit, that way I could put one hand pressure directly onto the bolt head, and use the other for loosening them. Toyota wasn't messing around when they installed these bolts! Good luck! The others should come out better since you've already put penetrating spray on the others.

    You are absolutely not supposed to use anything but hand power to loosen them, and to finish the tightening. You, sorry to say, found out the hard way. :frusty:
    On the upside, you will be able to buy more when you do get those stripped bolts out.

    I use a foam cannon filled with 2 oz of Chemical Guys V07 car soap & warm water. Even with my wimpy 1,500psi pressure washer it makes decent foam. When this one wears out I'll definitely go with a more powerful model.

    Chemical Guys makes some outstanding products.
