Default Exhaust removal......

looking for advise on the easiest way to remove the bolt on the exhaust pipe where it connects to the y-pipe. I see the wonderful engineers have the nut faced up towards the body w/very limited room.

I just put a cut-off wheel on the dremel tool and just cut through the band very slowly and evenly until it popped

Ya, I used a die grinder to cut the band. The band is also tack welded to the pipe, so don't worry if it doesn't fall off.

As mentioned, use grease and some mansucles.
