how many  people have broken these bolts trying to remove them?  if i
do get  them out, will i need to run a tap into the hole to re thread
it?   does anyone know the sizes of these bolts so that i can have
replacements  on hand?  any tricks for getting them  out?

thanks!

Hi All,
Anytime I have a project involving the exhaust system,
I start two weeks ahead of time,
soaking all of the connectors with WD40.
Get under there & spray every couple of days.
The heat sucks the penetrating oil in.
& still....it aint easy !
