i don't think it's my weakness thats stopping that bolt from comming off. I'm 120 with 10% body fat and i can bench 205. I don't think I need to do pushups...

ill get a PB blaster or see my my exhaust guy will heat it up with a torch for me.

put a half inch rachet on that bastard then. that should break those bolts loose. they are probably 10mm just give a good hit on the wrench most times pulling isnt enough. you probably lack the fore arm fortitude.

spray the bolts down with PB and let it sit for 5-10 minutes..then give a try. try this before you go with a torch.
