Help w/ removing mid pipe

[FAPPY]

so about 30 minutes spent jacking car and putting jack stands on only to find out that the bolts connecting the mid pipe and cat are on ridiculously tight. so is there a trick to this? bc i tried and tried for a good 20 minutes with no success. i hear more leverage is the trick so perhaps a breaker bar(?) might work? i dont know.. so now the n1 is just sitting in my room teasing me..

Spray some penetrating lube and use a big breaker bar.

You have access to a cordless impact wrench? Perhaps borrow one from someone?

Grab your wratchet. Then wrap the box end of a 11/16 wrench (or any size that will fit over the ratchet handle) and use the wrench for leverage with the ratchet. I'll try to take a pic of what I mean.

WD-40 was my best friend with those, and sticking a screwdriver in to open it up helps too

Usually, spraying WD-40 and letting it sit for an hour or two (maybe less) will do the trick.
