yeah very true,
good news is that i dont have to pay the return fee but only the restock fee,
which is still bulshit but only 5$
so im not arguing that...

what is the bolt on the front piece of the exhaust?
is it a hex bolt, or a regular mm?
i cant find the right size...or bolt...

You're going to have to be a bit more specific than this... Any chance you can snap a picture? Or describe it better?

sorry it was late last night...

you know right next to the tranny, the front peice of the exhaust that goes up to the exhaust manifold?
ok well this peice connects to the downpipes,
and it has about 4 bolts and i think 2 screws and i cant get em loose..

if this didnt help let me know and ill take a pic when i cann..
thanks

so the three(maybe four) bolt thats hold the front half of the exhaust pipe to the manifold are tight as hell, and i cant get them loose...
how can i loosen them up to take it off?
oh and one is stripped due to rust, or someone else trying to get them off, but now i have that to deal with..

how do i go about taking these bolts off?

and also do i even need to take the front peice of the exhaust off to drop the transmission?

Lots of penetrating fluid like Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster. Soak it all night, maybe all day too. If that doesn't work I've heard that you sometimes will have luck if you heat the nuts up first with a torch, although I've never had to resort to this.

When I dropped an A340e, I believe I did drop most of the exhaust (actually, I think it was everything from the manifold back). You won't have to drop it all like I did, I just did it because it was simple enough and that kept it all in one piece.

yeah its better i take it off,
i gotta replace the gasket on the downpipe,
smells bad when i start it up haha

gonna soak them up soon,
hopefully this is gonna be smoother then im expecting right now

as for the stripped bolt?
what do i doooo!?
