Chris,
They will break, or you will have to grind them out because the rusty heads
will round off. Use a grinder or power chisel and cut them out if they don't
come out easily. Go to Lows or a real hardware store and but the appropriate
size STAINLESS STEEL bolts to replace them. Note the lengths of the bolts
before you destroy them so you can grind some of your new bolts to the
proper length where required.

Exhaust work is never fun.

Good luck,

---Fellow list members,

I need an answer to this question: I have the muffler
and exaust pipe but, I was told at a muffiler shop that the bolts will break
and that they would have to use strapping as they have no way to get the
broken bolts out. How can I get the old ones out with out breaking them in
the first place??
