one bolt=one obstacle

I have decided to take out resonator box. I took off the fender well and I see a box under the air filter. Now I see one brass bolt holding the resonator to the metal. I can't take off the bolt, I even used a power drill but it won't budge. I guess I need more power(air pistol). What else can I do? Do I even need to take the bolt out or is it the wrong bolt?

Thanks

Humm, there should be 2 bolts on the top corners of the box. They are quite easy to remove, you don't even need a drill. There is another one in the midlle of the box, which you should not touch, I think this is the bolt you are traying to take out. . Good luck.

So it is two bolts? I think I was trying to take out the wrong bolt. Opps
Where are these 2 bolts. Are the heads facing down or towards the front engine?

It will be alot easier to remove the front bolt if you remove the bumper first. I didn't and it took forever to get that front bolt out.
