exhaust removal & brake help

[conor14]

being as lucky as I am and living in Alberta cars get rusty ( jealous of some of the clean cars people in the states have )

the bolts are rusted and arent budging even with an impact. I'm at the cat right now and am just wondering how did you guys get it out? i tried cutting it but i cant get the sawsall in there enough to cut it out! ( yes im installing a 3inch tbe not just leaving it )

also, i just got brand new brakes ( pads and rotors ) installed and their squeaking. i took it back to the shop and they readjusted my ebrake cable ( they fixed it while i got my brakes done ) and there still squeaking, do they need to be worn in? or should i take my car back?

A cutting tool, anything to get them off keep at it.

Get some type of penetration fluid. I used this stuff called Liquid Wrench and sprayed it a few hours before I did it and they broke loose.

That was my second attempt! First time I couldn't get them loose either.

As for The brakes I don't know much about them sorry.

If they're metallic pads they will make some noise when cold, but this noise would go away when warmed up (the heat "softens" the metal) Could be the dust shield (behind the rotor) rubbing against the rotor, that's usually what it is. if it is just bend it back, or remove them. if it's more of a tinny metal on metal scraping it's probably the dust shield.

PB blaster. Ill never use anything else. Spray it on the bolts, wait a while and try again. It literally turns the rust into water. There's a good article somewhere on here about breaking in your brakes

Pb blaster and a propane torch is your best friend when it comes to removing old rusty bolts. As for your brakes if they are ceramic and used on a stock rotor they tend to make noise.

i got new pads and rotors, and the cold would make sense haha it only happens when I'm not fully braking and going like less then 15-20km like pulling up to a red light or pulling into my garage. Its odd and irritating! don't wanna spend a $900 on something thats not working properly!

i got half of my exhaust off just cause i got to get to school, it was a pain in the a** but i managed to get the saw in there and cut some of it off! Ill post a pic when i get my new exhaust on!!
