ok so i went to go to take of my headers today to install the rb headers and i was gonna make a strait pipe and the stupid people who made this car.... made the 2 top bolts almost impossible to get... grrr

doesnt help when there rusted..

any ideas?

 

A long extension works wonders. I've had those off a few times in the past couple weeks, I've got it down pretty easy.

 

You not getting off bolts has to do with a designer? I figured that was an Engineer's job.



By the way, WD-40, it works wonders.

 

make sure the heat shield is off too...

 

that or liquid wrench.

either of them help

 

Pb blaster and remedial level problem solving skills are your friends.

No kidding. Kid is complaining about two bolts. Try pulling a motor in a RX-7 that has the shock towers moved 2 inches inwards. That's alot of fun!

 

You think an FC is bad? It's a joy, probably the easiest car I have ever worked on.

You want torture? Change the fuel filter in an FD. Hell, change spark plugs on an FD.

 

Or try diagnosing a vac leak on a stock FD. Or replacing the 100 feet of vac lines.

 

The 300zx is probably worse.

But I don't see how these bolts are supposed to be hard to get?
Just use any lube/penetrant and if they end up breaking then you have a real problem. In the mean time grab a beer.

 

LOL a n/a 13b with no power steering or a/c is so SIMPLE to work on !

 

urg! compared to the 300zx..the FC is the easiest car to work on. More specifically the Z32 is a bitch.

To OP like what everyone else says, soak in PB blaster or liquid wrench, have a beer, then continue to work. Or if you had a torch on hand..you can heat up the bolt a bit. That usually helps me loosen it up or break it if rust collects inside when i need to. but im sure you don't need to go as far as using a torch.

 

Werd. I can have the spark plugs in and out in less than 4 minutes on mine (I still have a/c though). It took me 15 minutes to get the spark plugs out of my friend's S5 TII, those power steering hoses are a BITCH!!!
