cat removal attempt

In a few words for summary:**** THAT ****!@!@!@!@!@.

I removed the intake tube to get at the top left side bolts but after the first one wouldnt budge i said **** it. The one was fairly easy to get to with some long *** extensions. Top left 3 look easy but the right side looks like a PITA.

If any of u guys did it urself howd u get it done? I did soak the bolts in WD40 for a while.

buy some thread breaker to squirt on the bolts

WD40 works too, spray it on about every 10-15 minutes and do that for an hour or 2
let it soak in

much easier
