Any one off hand know the bolt dia, thread pitch, length of the bolts that attach the y-pipe to the rear of the cat on an '89 L98 car?

Cut the cat-back off to facilitate removing the diff. I'm sure by the time I get the remains out with the hot wrench and vice grips they won't be in the best of shape to get a size off.

TIA,

Jeff

I think Andy is right.... But if your car is like mine, the bolts have been changed to SAE over the years, so it is what it is.

As far as cutting off the catback, is it that corroded? the front of the cat is a slip fit and the rear flange is just two bolts. No luck loosening it that way?

Thank you gentlemen for the reply. I'll order me up a couple of bolts.

The bolts at the flange were rusted enough and heads rounded off enough that it was easier to cut the bolts and get a hold of what was left with vice grips after applying heat. Impatience was getting the better of me.

The good news is the diff innerds looked pretty good, given it's 22 years old and pretty much has been driven only on Sundays most of its life ;-) - since the early-mid 90's or so. One of the off-season winter projects..

Thanks again!

Jeff
