	WTF, would you like your teddy back?? imw workin on my exhaust pain in the ass problem and if u dont want to help then dont reply, dont kick up a fuss. The exhaust is stuck tighter than a dildo in a nuns cunt so im allowed to qeury its situation. when you are £900 in debt , u need to save every un-neccasary 10 or 20 quid

	Jeezus Christ! An exhaust place will only charge between £10-£20 to change youre backbox for you. Pull yourself together mate, try not to loose too much sleep at night over it. We have told you what youre options are so go and work it out and will someone please shut this post down. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: [Edited on 23-06-2003 by TOMAS]

	well 2moro i might try drenching the connection in WD40, if that dont work i will have to take the centre section out aswell cos theres no way im using a blow torch about 6 inches away from the fuel tank

	it wont cost a lot. iam a mechanic and ive spent a hour with an oxyacetaline welding torch on an exhaust before including mine

AdamF	posted on 22nd Jun 03 at 20:12

	quote: Originally posted by miles Blow torch helps...... This is Very true!!! I had to replace my centre section (keeping my backbox, which is an aftermarket 1) First of all i tried all the usual ways, wd40, hammer, screwdriver and hammers etc etc, but it wouldnt budge. So i took the center section and backbox off together, then held it in a vice, heated with a blow torch for a few mins, and it practically fell off. Deff worth a go mate:thumbs:

	well i know its not now! just want to get the old one off. trouble is it looks fairly new so might make the case harder than previously thought :(

	exhaust rubbers are horrid an overrated! Cable ties n duct tape... theres a good combination! :)
miles	posted on 22nd Jun 03 at 16:01
	it will come apart, if its seized it will be a right pain though. Blow torch helps...... Rubbers can be bought from any motor factors. There would be no clamp there if it was 1 part!
Bonzai	posted on 22nd Jun 03 at 16:01
	yer, i just took my car into the lane and tried to get it off, u guys r right it 'should' pull out but its tighter than a ducks arse. i tried hammer a screwdriver first, then a mallet and chisel. that bitch just dont wanna move :cry:
Fraser Young	posted on 22nd Jun 03 at 15:56
	you can see a join there... a cm before the clamp... I'm sure i can anyhoo...
Bonzai	posted on 22nd Jun 03 at 14:57
	OI OI TOMAS, NO NEED FOR OBSENETIES the pic somehow looks different to real life but i swear it looks all joined together!! id have another look now but its rainin :( What about the rubbers?!!!!!?
Rich-	posted on 22nd Jun 03 at 14:43
	No, it is separate. The back box pipe slides inside the pipe from the centre section and that clamp holds it together. Just undo the clamp and pull/twist the two apart. It'll probably be sezied mind. Rich

	Undo the clamp and pull the backbox away from the center section you plonker! [Edited on 22-06-2003 by TOMAS]

	and it doesnt look like its separate from the centre section :mad: is this the case? does it need a bit of treatment with a hacksaw??? :o if it helps, its on a TD also the rubbers looked a bit knackered, can these be bought anywhere or do i need to visit the nobends at vaux again?? what do they cost??? cheers :thumbs:
