Ideas to remove an exhuast

You could try driving up bricks to get on the ramps but you need a spotter and it can be pretty dangerous with an auto. I spat a few bricks up doing the same with our SAAB.

Axle stands any good?

Yeah I've got a big set I'll see if I can use them tomorrow.

Bolt on the old exhaust clamp onto the pipe you want to remove and hit with hammer. Works well I find!

ITS OFF. I WIN!

In the end, after futile attempts at trying to get the grinder all the way through, I realised i could just do a lengthways cut, and then pry it apart. Worked perfectly!

Can see the mess I made here

And a result of the hammer attacks.

Glad I ordered a new part in the end, the old one is truly shot. A lot of small holes in the pipe joins.

Thanks for the help guys, Tom.
