pedrosixfour Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The left side I'd say, if you must jack it. Safety is the name of the game here bud, you need proper supports front and rear and never rely on just the jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrikbrunt Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I would take it to a garage if it were me.....going to be a bitch of a job Have to say i'd agree, I was fortunate in having a friendly local garage who let me use their ramps on a sat morning, and it was still a pig of a job! Although to be fair the first decat was the biggest issue... but still needed the gas torch to free the bolts on the 2nd cat and i'd not fancy doing that without the car up on ramps.

supra_si Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 DAMN so WD40 wont budge them. Is that on all cars that the first and second decats bolts are seized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Plusgas is definitely better than WD40 Some advice here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 http://www.lawson-his.co.uk/scripts/details.php?cat=Penetrating%20Oils&product=30700 Its a proper penetrating lubricant. WD40 is only water dispersant. It does the job but not always so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
