I would rate this as TRUE, the catalyst most likely needs the extra O2 the air pump provides to reach RFH temperature. Otherwise loading up quickly.

Although I had gotten an Emissions inspection in Tennessee and got pretty good results. (I consider them good. Don't know if they are though) I got 250ppm HC, 1.62% CO, and 12.66% CO2. This is without a pollution pump.
On top of all that, two methods, hold tension on the wrench and smack the wrench with a deadblow, or just a hammer if you don't mind dinging up the wrench. Or use the wrench with enough of a cheat to get good leverage and rap on the top of the bolt, or in this case, plug.
I imagine it working like when you shut something in a door, or tailgate and the pressure from that won't let you release the catch. So you have to push against it to overcome the load to relieve the tension on the latch.

Well,
seems like the problem soved itslef. I just went for the inspection and passed the emissions part with flying colors. Seems like they are not as strict as I thought. He said it does'nt matter what is on the truck, as long as it is within the limits. Appart from having to fix the left back brake and doing some re-witing to comply with German laws it is good to go for the final check up. Thanks everyone for helping out!

Madness! Lol that has got the be the first time I've heard of someone getting an emissions test and getting passed solely because the numbers were good. They are either of sound rationale over there, or you got lucky. Congrats.

The laws are definitly not reasonable lol. (See all the other changes I have to make to my truck). The technician that I got is really nice and reasonable though so i got lucky. Thing is it would not even need to pass emissions once I get it past the Historic Automobile inspection and it gets tagged as an Antique. But I have more options with registration now, so I wont complain.
