Somehow I've been vibrating nuts and bolts off my exhaust system including the Stebro muffler. Latest issue is the Oring gasket between the Stebro and the catalytic converter. Preplacing the bottom two bolts wasn't too hard, but anybody got a wrench /socket/visegrip combination that will get up in that incredibly tight space? Installed the engine with muffler and cat installed and getting that nut and bolt snug wasn't easy even with the engine out!! Went to Sears and bout a 3/8 slide handle and a 13 mm crowfoot and a stubby 13 mm combo wrench. We'll see if that $26 investment gets the job done. Also thought of using an allen head capscrew for the bolt half, but still would have trouble tightening the nut on the other side. Help appreciated as always. Dimwitted Moose and Flying Squirrel.
