hey all
when i bought my truck it was loud as all hell. the egr tube was gone, and leaks all over the place. since then, I've replaced the muffler, the egr system, and sealed a leak between the y-pipe and manifold. all that's left is the gasket between the first catalytic and the y-pipe. it's the funky oval shaped one with three bolts/studs that hold everything together.
now i know i can replace a simple gasket myself, but my question is, how the hell do i do it? i can't figure out how i'm supposed to get to the top two bolts. i'm looking for some advice on replacing this gasket. am i better off just taking it to a muffler shop?
thanks
