Technical Stupid exhaust question...

[ronnieronson]

Other than a midpipe itself, what do I need to swap it over?

So far on my list I've got a trolley jack, two axle stands, a socket set(?), mole grips etc...

Anything I've missed?
Is it a tricky job to do?
Does the backbox need to come completely off first?

 

[Brooky]

a hammer to 'break' the joint and a screwdriver to lever the rubbers off

 

[arc]

exhaust assembly paste to smoother all over the join so that it seals, new clamps or at least nuts

 

[fingers99]

Penetrating oil, oxy acetylene torch or Mr. Noisy to move the immoveable.

Safety goggles to stop nasty bits getting in your eyes.

Box of plasters.

Pain is relative,
I have yet to find the pain resulting from work on my car that Alcohol can't cure

seriously jack, axel stands, goggles, spanners, exhaust paste, and a bloody big hammer should do the job

or a case of beer bring the parts and i'll help you

(results may vary, no sucessfull outcome is guarenteed, beer may be drunk and any resultant loss of license or resultant activity is purely your responsibilty)

I thought i had a rubber at the rear when removing mine. let go underneath it, when it was on ramps, and there was no rubber left. Dropped the thing from about 30cm, directly onto the bridge of my nose. Blood everywhere and mild concussion was not nice lol

Yep, you will swear, cut yourself and feel pain, but its worth it in the long run

Lol - May take you up on that once I've checked the diameters are exactly the same
