I am in the middle of a rotor swap and ran into a little snag. In removing the muffler I cannot get the left front mounting bolt off. It appears to be spinning on a nut behind the oil cooler. I tried using a screwdriver and chisel to push in there to try and keep the nut from spinning. I sprayed some WD40 back there and will leave it for a day or so. Any thoughts or ticks to get this thing out without having to drill out the bolt. | ||

There is a nut back there. You have to get a wrench on it. It's not easy, but can be done. I don't remember if I used a box end wrench, or some sort of socket extensions and U joints. It has been years ago since I removed that for an aftermarket exhaust. | ||

the manual neglected to mention that. The search page took a while for me butt saw that there too. was able to get a 13mm in there to get it out and gashed my finger in the process lol | ||

flexi headed ratchet spanner works well | ||

If I recall, you can get directly to that nut by using an open end wrench and lowering it vertically from the top of the cooler bracket. | ||

Just buy the flex head wrench. I bought one from Lowes and it paid for itself already just for this job. It worked so well I decided to buy a set for other jobs.  | ||

After a lot of practice now, I can easily get a standard box end wrench on and off |
