They do stick, it took a 22mm spanner, lump hammer and a vice to get mine off but it went eventually

I hate those stupid C clamps, they are a git to spread :mad:
 
For £60 - £90 I would happily do it and take you out for dinner x



on a 182 its a 10 - 15 min job, take it to a local garage.. £20 Done!
 
Been quoted £30 which is better, got my new exhaust kit from NW performance so will get all that on while im there!
 
See if you can watch how they do it so you can do it yourself next time/MOT. It's an easy job.
 
Haha...is it really that easy..i just dont want to get halfway through it then the labda sensor not come off.
 
TBH getting the sensor out of mine was a complete f**ktard of a job, hardest bit. Think 2 meter long metal poles on the end of an adjustable spanner.
 
Taking the cat off is so easy, if you can't do it just put it back on, also i'd buy a new clamp.
 
Lamda sensor is a b**ch to get out, gave up on mine and got a garage to take it off in the end
 
not sure if these help but look at mine when i did it, easy peeasy...

you can see its really easily accessible, get under there and have a go!!

Oh and lambda came out of mine quite easily, swift tap with palm of hand with spanner on whilst exhaust is hot and turned straight away, i can imagine it being harder if its cold, but the cat stays mega hot for bloody ages!
 
why are u stressing when NW performance are going to fit your exhaust? get them to do the de cat at same time
 
no there not..where did you get that idea from?
managed to sheer 2 of my bolts from the rear exhaust hangers..just snapped!
 
The exhaust mounts..the metal hanger thats bolted to the car...any idea where i can get a new metal hanger from?

NWP just ask ryan for one,

De-cat fitting is piece of piss, in total its 4 bolts, the connection from downpipe to cat/decat is 2x 10mm nuts, so you will need a spanner on the manifold side and a small socket set with 10mm to undo it,

then just unbolt the 2 bolts in the centre, mine were 15mm, so yours should be aswell
 
Mate just paid £12 for a decat to be fitted on a teg. Dont bother paying anymore tbh, or just do it yourself
 
As much as I lol at these threads, Cookson's stalking of medici999's threads is tiresome.

I'd try it myself personally, it can't be that hard.....

Once I watched my exhaust being fitted I was so glad I didnt pay for it... Such a simple job.
