    I tried O'Rielly and they didn't have anything listed for the 14mm bolts on my 2018 Tundra. Would somebody have the size? I got my Dirty Deeds group buy muffler!
    I know it's a 2018 but I started last night and I have a feeling I'm going to have to cut some bolts. :-(

    What're you trying to do? Install a new muffler or a catback?! Get some PB Blaster and let it sit for a night...or 1:1 brake fluid:acetone is even better...wrench that sh!t off and throw the new stuff on! Or go to Ace Hardware for your hardware...or any hardware store...every town has one...you got this...it's just an exhaust update! Don't over think it...have the right tools and you got this done by the day's end!

    Whoa!! Hold on!

    I literally just did that upgrade on mine last night. You should be fine just spraying them with any penetrant lube and then give ‘em hell.

    I used ratcheting wrenches, which are a little short, so if they’re a bit stuck, use a longer handled socket wrench. They will crack free and then it’s easy.

    My ‘18 has 44k on it and they just weren’t very frozen.

    Good luck- and you’re gonna LOVE that sound!

    Yeah, I did pbblaster overnight but I rounded one of the bolts off. You’re right. I was overthinking it.

    It’s the whole cat back standard system from Dirty Deeds. So once I get one bolt out I’ll go get some new ones from ACE.

    I found bolts at my local Home Depot
    M10-1.25-35mm flange Head bolts

    I used 4 of them when I installed my DD exhaust

    To get my stock bolts off,I had to hammer a smaller socket onto 1 of them and use a breaker bar with a length of pipe to bust it loose

    I anti seized the heck out of the new bolts when I installed them
