ok, i got a new driveshaft today that i need to put in, i have the entire exsaust almost off, but there's two freakin straps i can't get off that's behind the muffler's, how the hell can i get those off???

Shane.Trammell

what are they attached with?

it's one of those rubber thing's that goes over a small bar of metal to hold it in place... i dont really know how to explain it much better then that, i can't un-bolt it cause there's not enough room, and i cant seem to get enough leverage to get it to slip out of it

Shane.Trammell

the little rubber donuts?

nightwolf_4_98

i got the doughnuts off, these are kind of like oval's behind the mufflers, there bolted to the body

Shane.Trammell

oh nm then, ive never been in that area of the car long enough to know whats required

LOL - THOSE ARE A BITCH!



You're either going to have to try really hard to get the bolts out in a true mechanical manner, or you're going to have to go barbarian style and burn it off with a torch, then just weld them back on when you're ready to reinstall.

sounds like a muffler bracket someone put there to hold the mufflers in place, why dont you just cut them?



does it look like this?

Shane.Trammell

do you even have to remove the muffs to do the ds?

nightwolf_4_98

nope, diffrent from that, they look stock to me, there just a bitch to get off, and i dont have a torch or anything to cut it off, i've got all of the exsaust except for that part of and it's really startin to bug me
