Is there any issues for not having the cat?
Catalytic converters kill rotary engines
So it would be better to just not have one? Entirely? And thus is how to bypass that? Also your funny as hell yo the cross member dilemma was funny as hell to me. Sorry i have my 2008 toyta rav 4 pulled apart on one side and the other im stuck at the hub bearing the fucker WILL NOT MOVE im 230lbs and been a roofer my whole life and grew up on a farm so im really strong for a woman. I even tried useing a jack on a breaker bar and jacked that bitch up and it wont budge. Idk wtf to do at this point. Ive been soaking and hoping it breaks it free but sfter 6 hours giving ir my all i had to just stop... before i break something either on me or my truck. 😢
lol thanks for watching my videos, and thinking that I am funny, I am trying to be funny in my videos and naturally I like to make people laugh plus have a laugh at myself, about your Toyota rav 4, are you trying to remove a bearing nut? I am surprised how stuck it is, they should not be this stuck, but what ever it is try using an impact like Hercules Ultra it’s 1500lbs break away, also you might need to try heat, good luck
I did FINALLY GRT THAT BITCH OFF. Just the front 30mm 12 Pont bolt on the front of the hub took 10 minutes with a serious blow torch and then i took a candle and melted it on there and as it cooled it sucked in the wax and a 5 ft breaker bar and thet thing was off. Now. The back bolts are so seized and the cv axel boot is directly in the back of these nuts on the back of the hub so I can barky fit any tools in there and to grt a good grip on those bolts? It's not happening. I might have to take off the whole control arm. At this point I'm just so tired 😫 might be less time and less work to do so. And thank you so much for replying to me!! Most people never get back to me or if they do its a month after I commented and by then I either give up or got it done 😅 anyways... yeah all of this is just after I JUST put in a new valve body litterally 3 days before this hub seized and my truck can't move now it's THAT SEIZED and it gave ZERO WARNING. Zero. No break grinding, no smells, no sounds, nothing I did have it off and replaced the cv axel about a year ago but I had got a job and barky had time to shower let alone work on my truck so I took it to this place down the street where I could walk to and from to drop off my truck and they were supposed to replace both the front hub bearing and I know now thet they were never even touched. I'm not going to let anyone ever touch any of my vehicles again. I always do my own work but having no time just really got me stuck. Lesson learned I guess 😔 thanks again and also if you have any tips at all I judt subed and I'll turn on my notifications for you. Nobody else got that 😊
