Cat Removal

Hey guys, I finally had time to finish the engine replacement on my 98 2 door 4wd Blazer. I broke off a couple of the bolts going to the Y pipe from the cat when I disassembled it. I tried to get the cat out, but it seems like there isn't enough room to remove it. Only had a couple minutes to try.. was wondering if anyone had any tips before I try again tommarow?... thanks

One more thing... I did remove the Oxy sensor that seemed to be in the way a little and still didn't seem like it wanted to come out, any help would be greatly appreciated

get the biggest hammer you have and start beating it out
