You can do that because you have a lift!  I've given up. Tried MAP gas with
an O2 sensor crow's foot tool and could only get it 1/8th turn.  At least
NAPA loans those tools, but 7/8" is too big, and rounded the corners.

If the treads are buggered, the shop can replace the cat with a pipe & bung,
I don't need it.

I use a Stilson wrench and a four foot heavy pipe as a cheater.
