    I had one break off on the rear bolts and couldn't get a drill in there to drill it out, so I have a c-clamp as an exhaust clamp that's been working out great.

    Staying true to the locale I see.
    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.

    I'll admit, the C-clamp idea crossed my mind, but I was lucky enough to be able to drill through the old stuck bolt so maybe I'll save the C-clamp for my next repair

    All finished up, and it feels good, except for the damn P1655 code. If not for that, I'd be able to pass emissions tomorrow and be done with the wrenching on it.

    For the record, I needed to remove the throttle body to access the rear bolt, in order to drill it out. As we all know, removing the TB is really easy so it wasn't a big deal. The big deal was using a dull, old POS bit to get through the old bolt, which took me probably 40 minutes of drilling, spraying with WD-40, and more drilling.
