I'm off to decat 123....my mate did it last time, today, just me and my spanners.....should i worry about anything? Its only 4 bolts....

[Justin..]

be aware of rust :lol: i had to cut the flange off my cat to get it off. rendering it useless :shock:

[Smokey McPot]

hmmm

ill jack it up and assess the situation...I dont have a saw, so i cant hurt it too badly.

[Justin..]

saw? i used a 4 inch grinder :lol:

[Smokey McPot]

I got a dremel multi....dont think it'll have the same effect.

[Justin..]

hmm, not unless you have about 3 days at hand 8)

[richy]

have fun lol aslong as the bolts are not rusted to hell then will be piece of cake to swap! :)

[Smokey McPot]

LOL that lasted well....all the bolts are corroded, and my mate is changing a cam belt so he cant help. Might try again tomorrow or monday. Pah!

[Andyvalver]

Take it to an exhaust and tyre place. They will change it for a tenna...job done :wink:

[Smokey McPot]

I have new tools, i was looking forward to getting greasy....or something. :D

[Andy]

cover it in wd 40

and just work at them slowly slight turns

[big hp]

Just snap them off if there corroded, there useless anyway as you won't wanna put rusty bolts back on.

Ok so got em all off yesterday, and having spent 2 hours lying with my head in a puddle, in the rain getting wet, i found the bolts that i got from renault were too ****ing big for the holes!!

So i got some new ones this morning and have just got it all back together. It now sounds like a fighter :D boh!

[Crossers]

Just grind the bolts off, no need to grind the flange off.
