need more information about which bolts you are referring to. I don't remember any "muffler" bolts except the ones attaching the muffler to the ends of the heat exchangers and they are accessible as far as I know.

I don't remember any "muffler" bolts except the ones attaching the muffler to the ends of the heat exchangers and they are accessible as far as I know. Jim they are the bolts that attach the muffler to the exhaust pipes. There are three on each side, two are easy to get at but the top ones are a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) pain. There isn't much room to get a wrench on. Perhaps I don't have the correct tool. I'm a DIY guy and needs a few tips. Anyone else that can offer some tips besides this: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) THANKS Keoni914 |

having done this a few times ---I just use a 3/8 extension and deep well socket on the outside and a combination wrench inside. Sometimes it difficult to get the extension and socket in there but it does work.
Putting the bolt in first before putting muffler up does help when re-installing. |

I finally got the nuts and bolts on. What a PITA! Keoni614 |
