Removing Stock H-pipe from cobra
- Thread starter cobra97
- Start date
put some heat and some penetraiting oil to it and give it a try. I know I used a swivel and some extensions.

They suck to get off. When I did my clutch I had to work around my H-pipe. Even with heat and penetrating oil I was afraid of breaking a mounting bolt/stud.

impact works good.
disconnect your battery!!! the starter is right there on the passenger side. you ground out that starter cable, and sparks will fly! ask me how i know this

I don't have cheap tools, they don't break very easily.

Even expensive tools break... i don't have a 4.6 but i did snap the stud on my manifold when I did my midpipe, luckily i was doing headers at the same time.

My tools accept your apology.
Well, I finally got it off :headbang:. A week of patients and soaking the darn thing with WD-40 and hitting it with the impact. That one stubborn bolt (the one on the far right side) finally came off. I also took a chance and cranked up the pressure on the air compressor cause i was getting tired of the slow battle. happy to say no broken studs, but did break my best 1/2" swivel. I am definatly going to put the new pipe on and use some never seize.
Putting on off road pipe tommorow. will let you guys know how it sounds.

Chrome universals are junk. You need one made for impact gun.

only problem with those is their bending is really limited.
On and sounds darn good!!! Maybe a bit loud, but still awsome. ccasion14:
I put never seize on everything, next time if there is one. The sucker shouldnt be such a pain.
now its time to install A pillar and guages. at least I wont be under the car anymore.

Thats part of the problem with chrome universals. They bend to much and bind up, then snap you have a broken tool and peices of it embeded into your arm.

Well there is still a happy medium between what an impact universal can do and what a chrome one does before it binds up. At any rate were you using the chrome one with an impact? How did you get it in your arm?
