03 TL Chrome Tailpipe cleaning
I'm trying to thoroughly clean my chrome tailpipes but I'm unable to remove them. Anyone know what size socket I need to remove that bolt.

8 mm or was it 10 mm socket wrench. Sometimes there might be too much rust on it, spraying WD40 on it helps.

I'd say that 60% of a car can be taken apart with a 10mm socket or wrench.

Yep, it's a 10mm and they are snug.

Right. Just give it a little twist after the bolt is out and before you know it you'll be holding it in your hand.

yeah, 10mm basically is good for the whole car. all you need to do is take out that bolt. But, i tried takin mine off, but the bolt rusted onto the metal strip, and i ended up cutting the strip.

I also broke mine... I had to cut them off the mufflers. Honda and their cheap ass parts. My buddy's 1990 Nissan was in better shape than my '03 TL-S.
