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 | |

quote: 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: | |

it will come apart, if its seized it will be a right pain though. Blow torch helps...... | |

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. | |
