Hi Shahar

What you are calling a 'Bolt' should be a round smooth 'Peg' on the Rear Exhaust Box about 2ins long, that slots into a rubber mounting at the rear of the Car (number 27) in your diagram

So you would either have to undo the Bolts to take that rubber mounting block off, then slide it over the 'Peg' on the Rear Exhaust Box before bolting it back on the Car with the Exhaust Box back in position (The Easiest Option)

Or undo the Exhaust Pipe near the Down Pipe Manifold, so you can slide the Exhaust System back, so that you are able to insert that 'Peg' in the Rubber Mounting Block and then push the Rear Exhaust Box back into position before you do it up

Also be aware that there are TWO Pegs to locate on the Exhaust System not just One and the Second one is hard to see and very easy to miss

As well as this also make sure the Exhaust is Fully Supported, or you could very easily snap the bolts on the Exhaust Manifold which of course would really spoil your day!

Undoing those Bolts on the Rubber Mounting Block is not a difficult job and not compared to what you've done already, all you need is a tin of penetrating oil to free them off if they are rusty as well as the right size spanner whatever that is

I've had to do this on all my Cars and although it is a bit awkward, its also very doable, you just have to bite the bullet and get stuck in

Hi Shahar

Can you get another Spanner on the other end of the Bold so that it can't keep turning?

Other than that just cut the bolts through with a Hacksaw or a Dremmel, or even grind the heads off and then you can replace those with New Bolts

It also helps to keep telling yourself 'That it's only Two Bolts' and nothings going to stop you from getting those Bolts off!
