Parts install

Hey guys,


do you or does somebody you know have access to a lift and air tools that I may be able to use this weekend or you guys know someone who would be able to do it if they can't let me use them and I would pay you.


I want to reinstall my downpipe, midpipe, and exhaust after already passing smog from last week.

my tech friend at livermore subaru is getting really busy so he's not able to put the parts back on for me.

Thanks!

That can be done in 1.3 hours max, including getting the car up and drinking some beer.

I have access to a torque and impact wrench but I'm just afraid of stripping the turbo bolts. I figured the air tools would make it easier?

I use a long breaker bar to help ensure I won't strip bolts, and not to mention an impact gun is a bit hard to get to fit sometimes.

All it really is, is the catback to the downpipe. Take off those two bolts, drop the hangers, remove the catback, take the bolts off the dp, remove the hanger, drop. Then reverse.

don;t forget your best friend..... PB BLASTER.... I put that $hlt on everything. No really... use it!!!! a 14mm on a long breaker bar from Harbor freight does wonders too.
