Is it then nuts or bolts that are stuck , if so try to put heat on then and then melt candle wax or bees wax into the thread side your trying to get out . It is a great little trick that normally works ! Hope it works and good luck . Jason |

Can you twist them anyway.maybe take a long bolt or all thread and put in the spring holes and screw it out.Chad

clean everything up real good and coat the tubes with hi temp nickel anti sieze before you re-assemble. Also on the u bend,you can buy mandrel bends from jegs or summit.Just get the flange and weld it together. |

Antiseize wont work. The exaust gets so hot that it will just burn off. Go to advance auto parts and they sale a small exaust pipe expanding tool. Use it on you collector and your problems will be solved. I use one on every exaust i install and they always come right off no matter how long they are on. |
