Review on Walker Exhaust Spring Bolt 35129 by Trae Joubert

This was an add-on purchase when I was replacing the exhaust flange gasket on my 1999 Honda CRV where the header pipe exits the catalytic converter inlet and the flex joint I bought this bolt kit before replacing this gasket replace because I saw a lot of rust on the 15 year old bolts I was about to remove. I expected to break regular nuts and bolts during disassembly. I was right! The bolts in this kit are slightly different from the original bolts, but they work acceptably and are MUCH cheaper than buying genuine Honda parts individually. The feathers were not closed and frayed like the ones I took off. I think that's what you get for less than $9. I was a little surprised that the springs compressed to a solid state, but that may have something to do with the new flange gasket used. I found the screws to be long enough. The only vise to press the flanges together allowed me to thread the nuts onto the bolt threads. I didn't have to compress the springs as others have reported. I needed a 13mm wrench for the nut and a 14mm wrench for the bolt.
