new cat, rusted bolts
another newbie question, guys (sorry):
i'm putting a new cat converter in my 88 DX and came across 3 rusted bolts. The before bolts (with the springs) came off fine, it's the after ones that are a bitch. They won't budge. What are my options here? I don't have compressor and all that...should i rent one? i gotta get this taken care of--it's ridiculous. Thanks much!

I just replaced mine and had the same problem. umm my dads a honda mechanic and he he uses this stuff called Zap that comes in a spay can. spray it on the bolts and they should come off. If not try heating them up with a torch or something.
Good Luck
