good way to take off a rusty cat??

SquishyChickens · 11-20-2005, 07:27 PM

are there any good ways to do this?? i've unscrewed everything and the stupid thing still won't come off. i was thinking about hammering it out but im afraid i might miss and hit something else.

Air Chisel maybe?

Sand blast

The Cat Converter right? Take off the muffler too, this will make thing ALOT easier...

blow torch!

Sometimes heating it up will help

blow torch huh? lol maybe i'll try the chisel =]. if not then i'll try the torch.

Honestly shadetrees try a product called PB Blaster, it's like liquid wrench. I'm not that patient though. I only use a "hot wrench", commonly called oxy/acetylene.

torch is the best. Once it gets red hot it will be alot easier.

lmao thats some funny stuff... go with dropping the pipe from the cat back to the muffler it will help, hother than that try the air hammer/chisle mine did the same thing but i was lucky with it falling off on the highway lmao.

I am new to the mr2 but not to cars and i can tell you having a friend with an air tool set is the best.The air chisel is a good bet. If u got a good impact put bolts back in to place with it then then take em out the torque action of an impact will help loosen rust seal that is on cat(nutin like a face full of soot,rust and grease ask me how i know)
