el_chriso 0 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hi, I'm struggling to get this last nut off at the front of the cat, I've used a nut cracker tool which worked on the other 2 nuts but this one is rusted on good and the tool won't fit up to use on this last nut. I've soaked it in wd40, tried an undersize socket which didn't work, a grinder won't reach in to it either. Anyone got any tips?? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Surreyvr6 199 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Get some heat on it Sent from your mums iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Surreyvr6 199 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Usually does the trick for me but thinking back first time I took the cat off my old vr I used oxy acetylene to cut off the bolts but I was in my mates workshop and it was the easiest optionSent from your mums iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Therusterman 59 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 To be honest i'd take it to a garage or somewhere you could get oxy acetylene on it. The bolts holding my cat on look equally buggered and its no fun lying on your back trying to get these sort of things off. Next port of call could possibly be to drop the lower manifolds off maybe?

el_chriso 0 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Cheers for the pointers guys, I managed to crack the nut last weekend with plenty of heat and some gentle persuation from a hammer and chisel. Decat fitted and it sounds awesome!! I suspect that my old cat is knackered - there is alot of loose sounding crap inside when shaken - possibly the filters have crumbled away?? it still passed its MOT a couple of weeks ago tho.
