Thanks Jamie, appreciate that. Apparently my 1/2" open ended wrench is much bigger than what you are using. Your method with the 1/4" drive wobbly is exactly what I was thinking as I have used the 1/4" drive socket without the wobbly with the heat shield moved out the of the way and the painters tape, but I felt a wobbly would make it a little bit simpler. Just got back from the hardware store and didn't even think about the 1/4' drive wobbly. It's funny as people are showing me pics of a straight shot to the nut on their bike. Yeah, that's how it was initially. One more thing, don't cut the zip tie on the p clamp with the RTX until after the nut is secured down a bit. Initially I left it on, then when I loosened the nut to reposition the pipe I thought that I should clip it. I then realized taht it is there to hold the clamp together while you are sliding it over the threaded shaft. Lesson learned once again.

One more thing Jamie, I want to confirm that the gaskets that the RTX uses are jsut plain EVO gaskets?

 

this...

 

The Jackpot RTX uses a gasket we spec from Cometic, it is a thicker than normal flat gasket. They are included with the exhaust system.

 

How about a crow foot on ext. bar.

 

Got a set of crowfoot yesterday. IT could work but I like the 1/4" drive swivel socket the best. That's what I'm going to try next. And a smaller 1/2" open ended wrench.

 

Just did mine when I put in the Thundermax O2 sensors. I just took a small wrench and the bolt came out very easy, then do the same when putting it back on. Hope this helps?

 

I just hate when they build a bike around one hut bolt you name it!
