Get a medium dish socket. The deep socket hits the fenderwell and will not turn the nut. The shallow will not fit over the bolt.

Surprised this isn't mentioned more often

Don't think i could've done the job without a mid-length socket

DREMEL TOOL FTW! It may take 10 minutes to cut through a bolt - but it will! And it's ultra compact.

PB Blaster is the chit! It's all I ever use.

WD-what?

Oh, and one tip you can use with PB is after you spray it, tap on the nut/bolt and the vibration will help the PB work itself in the threads.

im saying, that look like some one is replace that bolt with different size, cause it seem to dont fix any socket I put on. I post a pix later on.

***********SEE POST 17!!!!!!!!!!!****************

The reason it seems that way is the socket you are using...do you have a Sears near you?

i think he means his sig lol.
Man just forget it, it aint worth dremel and all this over.
Take it to a shop, they have power tools. Have em' buzz it off, then tighten it up a lttle bit, drve it home and do the rest yourself.
You'll be fine with out o2 sensors for 10 miles or so. I dove days with an exhaust leak the size of my fist at the header for a period.. ran lean as heck, it scared me but the ECM shoul d run on preset settings.

It seems to me that English isn't his first language. At least he's trying to use our language. Who the **** are you to make fun of his English? I think you should try working somewhere that you have to put up with immigrants coming in speaking their native language to you and getting pissed off and raising hell at you because you don't know what they need.

I for one appreciate the guy trying use our language, even if he does make mistakes. More people should be like him.

It looks a bit round ya, but it should come off....I think I used a swivel, and 2 extensions....
If you have a shop close to ya, it would be a bad idea to just take it in like Jbauer said...
Have you tried the standard size also on that? Could be that the metric 18 just doesnt fit right..

And if youre not using the stock pipe after, you can always just cut that to give you more clearance...

and try not to hit it with your purse, last time I broke open my nail polish and it spilled all over ...maybe some other folks around here have exp. in that , I dont recommend it

the funny thing is if i remember right i think that i could do it without a swivel, i had to really jam it on there but it worked, that was pre motor mounts.. when using a swivel your taking about half of your bacon out of the actual bolt turning process

Are you using a wrench on the top of the bolt while you try to spin that nut off? If you can try to get someone down there with you, one to start turning the wrench and the other to use the ratchet on the nut, that's how I usually break it (although I've gotten pretty good at it and can turn both at the same time by myself with my hands wedged up there). Would be wise to replace those rusty bolts/nuts to when you do get it off.

Contact ford for a direct replacement, I'm sure you could find something at a hardware store but it may not be exact and could be more trouble than its worth, the bolts and nuts can't be too expensive direct from ford.

mmm..depends on what you mean by raspy...if youre not sure, you can take it back to the shop, be polite, and ask them if they could check for leaks..or ask a buddy who has exhaust mods to check..
It might be normal, maybe that your just not used to the sound...
