exhaust cylinder pipes a mongrel to get off

[Serious Groper]

Have swapped the air filter, ECU and removed Termi slip on mufflers no sweat.

However the 2 small cylinder pipes do not want to budge no matter how hard i try. Have been going at it for 15 minutes with not an ounce of movement.

Any ideas?

Heat should do the trick. Of course they are hand to handle when their hot. What until you try to put them on. The rear which goes through the swing arm is a bugger to get our around the shock

I did heat them up a little bit with the Benzo but maybe not for long enough. Will give it another shot now and report back.

Well i tried and tried and tried. All while dressed in my jocks because the garage was so flipping hot and i was sweating like a dog!

No dice.

Managed to move the bottom of the 2 pipes but thought against it seeing as the top one wasn't budging so what was the point in taking 1 off.

Might just forget it for the time being. Bugger, just paid $300 for all the stock bits which i now can't install LOL.

have you given them a good spray with CRC OR WD40? seeing as the heat from the exhaust and carbon build up is probably the culprit for the stubbornness a good dose of penetrating fluid may help.

I wouldn't 'come of either' if I saw in your jocks in the garage

cheers Loony, i gave the WD40 a good go but it was no dice. Well i actually got the bottom pipe moving with tapping with a rubber mallet but the top pipe is no dice. I'll have another shot with the WD40 over the weekend and hopefully it can eat away some of the grim like you suggested.

more wd40, often will penetrate. give it a tap from time to time and you should be right by monday. it's gonna be wet this weekend anyway
