    will an air hammer do the job if they are stripped? they look like a good option and i may get a cheap one tomorrow

    Was your O2 sensor after your cat? If your doing cat-back you shouldn't have to remove your O2 sensor. Spray some PB Blaster on the cat bolts to loosen the rust and NO, RTV is NOT a good gasket! Get some real exhaust gaskets dude.

    it is after the cat but the install directions say to take it out so you can replace it into the new intermediate pipe i dont think theres a way around that. i used some wd40 last night and will go out and get some stuff to finish the job today. any suggestions on gaskets that i can get locally?

    Op,

    soak, soak, soak and having a "Heat wrench" would help too..;)
    Any good parts store will have exhaust gasket material,if not the exact gasket...a few extra $$ right now will save headaches later...


    Matic, PLEASE don't encourage her ;), if SHE believes ,then the rest of us survive another day :cool: plus she looks good in an apron ( so i've been told :rolleyes: ).....

    The bolts on mine were rusted on too, I used an Impact Wrench and it broke it all free.

    i think its in for good with no air tools im pretty limited i guess the exhaust was cheap so i may just get a new o2 sensor do you just splice the old wire and hook it up?
