I get the general idea of how to install them, but it seems like that last top bolt will be impossible to get off. Anyone have any time saving hints for that bolt?

 

I just had Hi-Flow Crawford cats put one. I almost did it myself, but, with my low ramps, I wasn't sure I could get the leverage I would need. Anyway, my installer, was able to work all of the bolts and studs from the bottom. He just needed to go to the top once, to remove a stubborn nut from the old cat. Otherwise, everything else was done from the bottom. The labot charge was only $40. If you don't have lift, and are going to do it yourself, you could always use penetrating oil, and let it sit for awhile to soak.

i dont have any "time saving tips" but i can tell that the bolt isnt really that hard to get to once you position yourself right, there is space under there to get to that bolt its just finding how to use it. its really not that hard at all.
i just installed my RT cats last week, the only challenge was tightening the bolts but even then its wasnt too hard.

 

our installers use a super long socket extension... and get that bolt from the very top of the engine bay...

hahaha, funny. If you cant duc it *#%# it. lol. Thanks everyone for your tips. Im gonna try it tonight!

 

If it moves and it shouldn't, use Duct tape.

If it doesnt and it should, use WD-40.
