HELP PLEASE! ($*#@)...

I was removing the a.i.r. tubes from the passenger side exhaust manifold. The reason I am doing this is because I am going to take off my cat when I get my exhaust work done. I already took off the drivers side tubes and plugged them with brass plugs. I also removed the other three on the passenger side. The very back bolt that holds in the tube is not coming out. I have been spraying it with wd-40 and other loosening solutions. It has been sitting for three days and is not budging. Tonight I tried heating it with a pencil blow torch, but that didn't seem to help me out. I really need to get this done soon. Any help/suggestions or words of encouragment are appreciated.

Thankyou,
Twells

Hey twells, have you visited the Kansas f-body page?? We have our own board, maybe someone can answer over there. Here's the link www.KSFBA.org . When you register and make a post be sure to let them know that SLUSH92RS pointed you over there. I've got full length headers so i didn't have to deal with that problem.

If you are talking about he bolt holding the bracket to the block, mine was also impossible to get off, so i just cut the bracket holding the air tube to the block off with a dremel and then pulled those miserable tubes out from behind the block, it wasnt fun.
