(FD) Removing stock exhaust hangers!
 
I was about to replace my exhaust tommorow with a Apexi GT Spec exhaust, and I was wondering what is the best way to take these hangers off and remove the stock exhaust!

Thanks,

Ravi

Brute Strength, and a lot of cursing, but some sorta lubricant may help, i cant think of what i used specifically, but your bound to think up something, rubbing alchohol, water, ammonia, windex, vasaline, gasoline, spit, you dot an idea :D

As the previous post mentioned, a good blast of WD-40 did the trick for me. No brute force required at all. BTW, you'll love the GT Spec!

Haha...that was the 'before' scenario.

BEFORE: Yank, pry, scrape knuckles, bang header, swallow smoot, learn new profanities, ponders what the hell did I get myself into.

Then I saw the light or my can of WD-40 mocking me from the shelf...

AFTER: Pop off rubber hangers, unbolt, chuck rusty old Blitz away, install GT Spec, start her up and enjoy....[insert angelic music here] ;)

Or use KY Jelly. :D
