Hey all
Just trying to remove the front exhaust header pipe and having no luck.
Can anyone give me a rundown with hints and tips?
I have removed the manifold nuts, the springs and the bolts holding the heat shield plate to the pipe, but I cannot get the slip joint to separate.
Any ideas?
 
I know they use an adhesive on the flange points. Maybe some heat and a mallet? I did remove both of mine but don't recall any tricks accept brute force.
