    PB Blaster and a torch are your best friend. Heat the bolt/nut for a minute or so, then soak with PB, repeat unti desired results are achieved.

    And yes, you should be able to pull the whole rear section out, though it is much easier pulling it out 1 piece at a time.

    Where did you used the hack saw at?
    Down near the flex? Or a little up close the o2 extension

    I cut mine right where it started feeding back. Right at the angle after the drop.
