Mornin peeps.
Eleven degrees promised today, window down, elbow out :)

Oh, does anyone have a trick for getting exhaust hanger rubbers over the flangy bit on the sticky out bit on the tail pipe. Made a right hash of the last one and it's split already..
Ta.

Have a nice day everyone:)
A bit of lubrication helps (no innuendo please), grease / wd40 / oil. Or if really tight, a few drops of petrol (thats how we used to put motorcycle footrest rubbers on back in the day).

Make a tool. (Well I did)
Altho I suspect you can buy one.
You can buy one for most things nowadayz!
 
Hmmmm. I avoid washing up liquid in contact with metal as it contains salts and leads to corrosion. Rubber and grease? - lots of seals and gaskets are rubber / rubber based so I don't see a problem there.
Totally agree about the salt in washing up liquid, which is why I am very stern with anyone who want to use it to wash a car with it!! But the metal under the car will be thicker and constantly attacked by salt off the roads anyway.
Dunno about the rubber and grease thing, I do know that so many "rubber" things now are Nitrile. So less likely to have a problem with stuff.
I was told all this so long ago, it may be old hat now.
Dunno if I CBA but I might google it later cos it is good to know what is the right and wrong on this.
But I do know that petrol dissolves some rubbers as delayed action explosive devices used to be made by pulling the pin on a grenade after putting a rubber band around it to hold the handle down, then dropping it in a tank of petrol. You will see the rest!
 
Woo Hoo!
