Last week I was trotting home after work, and my rear silencer fell off. I've bought a complete rear tailpipe replacement part which is fine, but I am having trouble getting the old pipe off.
I don't want to pull it too hard and cock up the rest of the exhaust that is still working. Are there any tips or tricks to getting off sections of corroded-together pipes? Its soaking in WD-40 now, and I was going to try hammering it. Do I just hammer the lip in the direction the pipe needs to come off, or do I just **** it around the join to free it up a bit. If that fails, is it a wise idea to just hacksaw it off?
The clamp snapped when unbolting it, so I need to find another one of them this weekend.
I am a complete novice at car stuff and probably shouldnt have a Land Rover... :/ Any help would be great.
