Husky Posted June 6, 2010 Author Posted June 6, 2010 Nup mate, it's a 3000degree blow torch for welding. The dremel will leave marks I think. The blow torch melts the welds and the actual stud comes away leaving no marks. The inside stud is a bitch to get near due to the angle. The dremel will work but I bet a metal shop will do it for a tenner and do it in seconds lol. Save yourself the hassle lol i know what it is yeah, next time i might send it in to the shop to get it done but how else to you learn about your car if you dont do it yourself the first time round Quote

Harman350z Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 i have oxy acetylene Ive never felt so spaced out watching Acetylene burn, the smell sent my head all weird and seeing all the black crap come off it made my eyes go funny OxyAcetylene sure would do the job though Quote
Husky Posted June 7, 2010 Author Posted June 7, 2010 i havent actually bothered dremeling out that stud today still running tiny journey with no backbox, i think im enjoying the little jaunts way too much tomorrow morning im going to dremel it out, so i get used to the sound before i go to the dentist Quote
mattbowey Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 this thread is briliant, its all about DIY imo, although i have a mechanic next door so its kinda cheating when i use his lift and all his tools and ask him for help every 5 mins and "LUBE ftw" and have you tried bashing and then bashing, think thats the only possible combination you missed.

Husky Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 lube and bashing has to be the answer. i had a lie in this morning instead of doing the exhaust silly me Quote
jimbadman Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 This thread is great, looking forward to getting home to listen to the sound bites. Can't seem to find much info on her about removing the mufflers. Quote

Husky Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 I think im here to make everyone feel better that they aren't alone, fixing/modding my car never goes right for me either Quote
SteveW Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Feel your pain my exhaust was also a PITA I resorted to a big angle grinder to get it off in the end. The Y pipe to mide pipe bolts were super tight took some big effort to get that off! Quote
Husky Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 The Y pipe to mide pipe bolts were super tight took some big effort to get that off! i think nissan employed the hulk to put them on Quote

Husky Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 Ok so i sat with a tiny dremel bit an little bit at a time cut away at the stud head... it took a few hours and a few dremel discs... but i got rid of it then i decided as doogyrev had done a great job of polishing the tips i would finish them off. so this time i decided while i had the dremel out to put a tiny polishing bit on it and use megs metal polish then i got my flood light out and from about 10:30 to 11:15 fitted the backbox with a fresh new bolt. AND i decided not to jack the car up to do it have to say now ive done it enough times it wasnt too tough and really you dont need to jack it up to install one its on now and loks like this HAPPY DAYS!!!
