I've tried searching but I just couldn't find what I needed.

I'm having issues even beginning the install of my TRD exhaust. It's completely rusted up down there.

There are 2 bolts to remove and 3 hangers. I just don't know how to remove the bolts. Am I suppose to remove the nut, closest to the rear end of the car? Or am I supposed to try to pry at the other side where theres a giant spring? Because either way, none of them will bulge. Should I rent/acquire a power tool? WD40 isn't helping

Thanks

I have very little experience with car work, just easy stuff such as installing an intake, HIDs etc.

The nuts are welded on there is not taking off the nuts. So try taking off the bolt with an impact gun either it be air or electric. Or if u want to save money get a breaker bar, and if u don't have that get a socket wrench and a pipe use any type of leverage u can find and it should come off.

When I did the swap on my old car the bolts where so rusted I had to take a dremel and grind the bolts off.

Just to put some closure on this thread, I got a giantass socket attachment for more torque. I was still having problems and then my 70 year old grandpa reaches down underneath the car and loosens up the bolt saying they weren't tight at all

So, I just fail I guess haha. It's seems to be all about positioning to get the most torque and I just didn't use very good positioning to get the most leverage I suppose. He positioned himself so both hands could could effectively loosen the bolt. He also placed an object underneath the ratchet to keep it leveled as opposed to just pulling downwards and not getting the most torque.

So the real winner here is physics?

Actually, the winner would be his 70 year old grandpa... Experience over physics?
