broke 5 cutting disks trying to cut the first one off, so went back to the wrench, managed to fine a point that it would still grip, and wacked at the wrench with a hammer, and it broke loose!
Of course, it won't unthread the whole way, because the thread is damaged at the tip of the bolt, but that isn't a big deal at this point. Working on the other 2 the same "impact wrench hammer" method...

Starting to get tempted to wait till tomorrow morning and drive it around the corner to a garage and pay them like $20 to put it on a lift and break the nuts loose. It would severely delay leaving on the trip, but...sigh
My neck is killing me, my *** is somewhere around 30 below 0, and my wrenches are deforming the nuts. The metal nuts on the car. Fortunately I have avoided having my nuts deformed by anything but cold.
Anyone know if there is a SAE wrench size that would better fit a 14mm nut than a 14mm wrench? The 14mm wrench has some play back and forth, and I know it's part of the problem. I go to sockets, but the angles there are more at a disadvantage, and I only have 1 ratchet left now.
Rolf, actually, yes, I have an impact wrench, air tank, air compressor, hoses, etc..
But when I went to use it this morning, it just vented all 90psi out of the wrench handle. I think something broke with it. Couldn't get the socket to actually turn, even without resistance.
Go figure.
I just got another nut loose, taking a recovery break to get it off the rest of the way and back to wacking on the last one.
I feel like I'm running a marathon here.
I'm putting anti-sieze on the bolts I put in on the midpipe, and when I Get my cat replacement from the dealer, I'm coming home and pulling out each one and putting anti-sieze on those too.
