She doesn't have any more vacation time to use.I'm about to give up though, the temp is dropping, my feet hurt from the cold, and I am not making any progress on getting the last nut loose.
Any idea on how much a random shop should charge for breaking the 1 nut free, or for breaking it free and installing the pipe (to save time).
No more than like $50 for everything I'd expect. $20 or so for just the nut.
nice try anyway RIWWP.

Yeah, getting too cold, and my last effort just now is starting to strip the nut.
Gonna start calling places first thing in the morning to see who opens first and how much they will charge.

Here is a poor quality image of the one nut + bolt that I had to cut off the nut for.
Can't get enough leverage to hammer the 2nd bolt out, the one that is on the narrow low clearance side of the header. Starting to strip the nut on the top bolt.

4 hours of sleep, I hurt like hell from all the wrenching (cube rats aren't used to it ) so can't sleep any more. 2hr 20 mins till local dealerships (might) open, gonna start by calling them first on the off-chance they have a cat in stock and are willing to get me in first thing.
Otherwise it's off to Lowes who also opens at 6am today, and to find a solution to get my impact wrench working, an alternative to break the nut free, and an alternative to cut the bolt off.
At least when I start banging at ~7am this morning, my neighbors will be blaming the guy next door who usually is banging on something by 7am most of the year.

Sorry to hear that.... Hope the dealership has one! I hope you get this taken care of bro. You've been at this for a few days now. Goodluck
