Guys,

Trying to remove the cat so I can get the heat shield behind it off and finish prepping the chassis.

Read several threads on it, popular opionion seems to be work round the subframe, 10mm ring spanner on top, 10mm deep reach socket on the bottom. The issue I've got is I can't get the ring spanner on the top bolt head. Doesn't feel like there is much prtuding above the flat surface and what there is is pretty rusted up. The bottom nuts don't look clever either.

Ideally, I'd want to cut them off and get a new fitting kit as they are only £20 or so but struggling to get in to cut them....

Seems as if my only option is remove the subframe to give the access needed.....

Any other ideas?

depends what other tools you have access to really, dropping the subframe is no small task, its one I would avoid as much as possible especially with the engine still in place.


you might get a hacksaw blade in there but that will take a while, a reciprocating saw would p**s it if you can get near it, or if you drop the engine forwards you can get a small bodied grinder in there with a slitting disc.

The engine will be coming out sooner rather than later anyway......does the subframe need to be off first before you do that?

Thanks guys. It's off now, eventually.

Now, does anyone know if the heat shield behind the cat will come off with the manifold still in place?

Just undo all the subframe bolts a few turns an lever the back down slightly you might get it past.
