seized up-pipe bolt
I was installing my new header this evening when I ran into a road block. The bolt that is seized is the easy to reach up pipe bolt not the hard one to get off. That was easy with the right tool. Will wd-40 really work or do I need the liquid wrench? I tried using a breaker bar to give me some more leverage but it didn't want to move. I'd rather not have to cut the bolt and buy another one.

this is the side of the uppipe that has 2 bolts? I have 2 pairs from my aftermarket pipe but I reused my stock ones.
WD-40 soaked in, PB Blaster, or something that will crack it. If you are in san jose I can hook you up, or just go to the hardware store and get a grade 8 nut and bolt.

Thanks for the info. Yeah the side that connects to the stock exhaust manifold. I used the wd-40 and let it soak for an hour but it didn't budge. I cut it off just now and will swing by a hardware store tomorrow.
