And just let gravity do all the hard work.
It must be true, I read it on the internet.

Re: Exhaust Downpipe Removal
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".

Then remove the studs and replace them with bolts
If it's not made in China, it's a fake!

Re: Exhaust Downpipe Removal
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

Re: Exhaust Downpipe Removal
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
