Downpipe

[burfitt101]

Hi, im currently fitting a decat pipe on my st185 and im finding it a bigger pain then it first looked. i have managed to loosen and remove all nuts and now im going to remove the cat, however it doesnt seem to come out it is loose but it looks like its held in by the studs at the back due to the oil cooler and also the black bracket half way down the cat. pls can some one help as i have ran out of knuckles to slice off and im bleeding from most parts of my hand now. there must be a way of removing this THING....

thanks james
