If you are referring to the 17mm nuts on the four studs that point downward on the N/A cars, I used a dremel mototool with a heavy duty cutting disk on a flexible shaft to cut 90% through the nuts rather than risk snapping the stud. (Use safety glasses, you are going to break some disks, Depot sells dremel bits & discs) Don't go all the way through because you don't want to damage the threads on the stud. Once you have it at 90% cut, you can stick a large screwdriver in the cut, twist and basically snap them apart. Its hard to get a nut cracker on some of the nuts. Also try to get some "pinched" nuts to put the downpipe back on, I had a problem with the nuts loosening up using only regular nuts, the two gaskets would blow out and then the exhaust had that Civic with a fart can sound, most un SAAB like. Good luck.
