fitting decat pipe question

[no2lurch]

I have bought a decat pipe and plan to fit it but how the hell to I? I mean, how do i access the springs/bolts holding it to the manifold? when i had my 1.8 petrol, there was planty of room to attached it from above!

With a lot of extensions on your sockets and a mate with a 10mm spanner at the top. Would get some more bolts as they have a tendency to shear

2 10mm spanners one of them being a ratchet spanner. It can be done with 1 hand hold both spanners. Leaning over the passenger side wing reaching down the back. It can be done, hope that helps.

Ive also always done what tom said, seems to be easiest that way

Either like that ^^ or with a long extension and socket from underneath

[Tom]

Or like Connor says, i have done both, just got someone else to hold the spanner whilst i joined all my extensions together for lols!

Ive just done one, basicly what sam said.
A mate at the top with a 10mm spanner, you underneith with a deep 10mm an extension. Nice an easy once you get going mate!

Car on ramps, series of extensions and another spanner/vortex 10mm at the top. One man operation...

I use a jack to hold the exhaust up when putting it back. Place the spring/bolt back and thread on the nut by hand before using the ratchet
