Hi there, was trying to install my cat back and have completely rounded the two nuts on the studs connecting the downpipe to the resonator even after soaking with pb blaster . What is my best option here ? Grind off studs and use new bolts ? Will the studs come out etc....
Thankyou!

Is there enough room to use a vice-grip? Also, pb blaster sometimes needs a little help, so if you can tap the nuts lightly with a hammer, the pb blaster may have a better chance of getting into the nooks and crannies.
Good luck!

Seconding heat. Heat+vice-grip or a bolt extractor. It was the only thing that got mine off.
