Hey all received the sportex exhaust of joshbl today looks sweet but heres the problem i Cant get the old nuts off, cut knuckles n swearing fr half hour lol any help on how i can get these bloody nuts off lol

jack up the car, get the old box of the 3 supporting brackets so you can drop the whole exhaust system down, now you can grind the nuts off. You have to drop it mate otherwise you cant get to them over the axle. done
