Re: short? exhaust system replacement

[Chris Idleman (FSAC-AAD) <cidleman@fsac3.pica.army.mil>]

I just replaced the center section of my exhaust and had to tackle the 
same problem, except my exhaust bolts were completely rusted.  A little
quality time with Mr. Hacksaw and Mr. Dremel took care off the two 
bottom bolts.  To get to the top bolt, I cut through the short section
of pipe about 2 inches behind where it bolts to the cat flange.  Instant
access granted!  I had to replace the short pipe anyway so I sacrificed
it to get to the top bolt.  When all was completed, I reassembled the
new exhaust with stainless steel bolts to prevent the problem from re-
occuring.
