Yes, penetrating lube, use it before you break one of the bolts like I did. PITA to get the rest of the bolt out.

as for the smog pump . take the 3 bolts out of the pulley . after the pulleys off you will see 2 torq bolts (t-45 i think)& a regular bolt & it should come out the bottom. any questions just e-mail me.

I got the rest of the smog tubes off this week end. #8 was a bitch. I thought I had to remove the pulley from the smog pump, but was not sure.

Thanks.

Did anyone notice any difference with their car after removing the smog.

I am going to get rid of my duel cats, and replace them with pipes.
Hopefully I will be going to the hedman elite headers later on.
