And lots of IMAL spray and a big hammer!! [/quote]

That's a novel way Hang it by the pipes and beat the s€#t out of the motor.

And just let gravity do all the hard work.

No, really. The chisel did all the work

Is it gpz900 Kawasaki 2 piece flanges that you can replace them with if need be??? ..

A little late response, but for future reference: yes you can use these.

From a Kawasaki GPZ900R (but they might be called differently in/on others countries/continents, something with 'ninja' etc.)

After removing the exhaust i drilled the flanges out with 1 mm more .



Heat didn't do the trick here

[Kev44]

Bugger if heat don't work its cut em off ffs

I've just been through the same thing,I used loads of WD40,two small pry bars a hammer and a long socket that was just bigger than the stud diameter.And a load of patience.
Just had to keep soaking in wd,and working the collars back and forth tiny amounts prying forward and tapping back using the socket like a drift,plenty of sharp taps with a light hammer all around the collar,took around 3 hours of swearing and sweating but eventually got them off intact,but a little "bruised".

[Kev44]

Nice shiny exhaust you have there pity mine wasn't like that don't know what to do with them once i've got them off, might have to wrap them

[Rod.s]

Then remove the studs and replace them with bolts

[Kev44]

And then when the studs don't come out?

You're in a world of hurt

Given up on mine now going to cut collars off

[Kev44]

Well after the struggle of getting them off the result of many hours of rubbing down and only 2 runs with the coarse mop this is the result, well chuffed
