is there any simple way...?
cats meet the manifold, right next to the block, i tried getting under the car with a breaker bar and i broke my ententionWhich ones? ones where the cat pipes meet the catback? Or the cat pipes meet the manifolds? or the manifolds meet the head?
saving up for air tools atm...In addition to the tips that SEO9C1 listed, an impact wrench is a huge help in breaking loose corroded exhaust fasteners.
wow never knew... good stuffHave you considered a cordless to hold you over till you have your dollars saved up?
This one is cheap, but only makes 140 Ft. lbs.

For reference, stock B-body lug nuts are supposed to be torqued to 100 ft. lbs. I've been using the same Harbor Frieght cordless impact since 2004 and use it often. I race (swap tires) 8 or more times each year, plus stuff around the garage. I hardly ever drag out the pneumatic one unless this one can't break it loose (almost never). It is the best money I've ever spent on an automotive tool.
Harbor Frieght also sells cheap impact sockets. They may be cheap, but I've never broken one.
