Best clip I've seen in a long time.

I'm having a nightmare chiseling off the old nuts. My neck hurts 🤕

Great, great video! Have you had a chance to check these after a few years? My initial concern is that brass expands more and the nuts could creep loose. Otherwise, LOVE this solution!

Wish car manufacturers did this, I paid like a millions bucks for my car. All I got is cheap rusted nuts and rusted undercarriage but the radio still works great while sitting stuck in a highway somewhere 😂😂

I used copper nuts normally used for exhaust manifolds instead.

Exhausts should be all brass as a standard.

Is that a Honda Ridgeline by chance? Trying to perform a oil pan gasket change on mine. Which requires removal of the exhaust. I used a grabber socket for eight out of nine nut. But, there is always one, and in the hardest to reach spot. I've tried everything, I'll will need to chisel it out. Excellent post, thank you for sharing.

Nissan used to use brass nuts in the pre-cat days. I never encountered exhaust nuts which were more likely to seize and then be impervious to heat.
These days I either use copper nuts or a thick spacer washer and dome nuts.

Brass nuts is same as stainless bolts into alloy head.

Is it cold in there or are you just nervous?
