172 de-cat removal.. plan B?

[Jamesstone]

Well even with it being -5c out side today i went out to tackle the removal of the cat, have done 2 of these now & every time its been a piece of pish to remove & true c**t to refit untill today that is, some one has been in before me by the looks of things as the heads on the bolts have been completely rounded off, obviously with the space i have to work with most methods of removing rounded off nuts is not going to work so would be interested to know what you guys who have had this problem have got round it? as it stands i think the i'll see what i can do with the dremmel tomorow but i get the feeling its not gonna small enough to get in the right angle

the few times i've done it it's been the other way round - bugger to get off, easy to put back on

don't think there are any easy solutions - just got to persevere and try different spanners. ended up manually winding the last ones off with an A/F ring spanner as they were rounded - just time consuming if you can't ratchet them
