UNABASHED Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Aboutto take my exhaust apart to fit new y pipe, one the bots are off the back box what is best way to get the rubber mounts on and off? Thought best check before I have half the box on my chest and unable to get the last mount off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Brute force and ignorance. On a serious note - just wiggle the things till they slip off. Can sometimes take a bit off effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Lots of wd40 and a breaker bar I thought he was referring to the rubbers not the bolts themselves.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael robinson Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 When I changed mine I put fairy liquid on the rubber and the exhaust Hanging bracket, Its slipped straight off and was alot easier to get back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 My god that was stubborn! It was the rubber mounts I was talking about, gave them lots of lube and lots of banging, pushing, shouting and swearing and finally got them off. Time for some grub! Thanks guys!

UNABASHED Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 The rest of the bolts seem like balls of rust, think I'll be grinding or burning them off tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
