Joshyg 5 #1 Posted 2 hours ago Does anyone know about how to get this off, as you can see I already chewed this up with channel locks. I’m small but I’m able to stand on the channel locks without it moving Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 20,108 #2 Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Several methods none easy. Cut the nipple off 1/2" from the block the nuse the sawsall inside the nipple cut down until you just see the threads showing then collapse it a bit with a hammer and chisel . then it should come out. make sure the exhaust valve is closed and vacuum out the shavings.

rmaynard 17,012 #3 Posted 55 minutes ago What Paul said above is the most popular method of removing the old pipe. I use a Sawzall with a fine-tooth metal cutting blade at low speed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 19,524 #5 Posted 51 minutes ago If the engine runs, fire it up and get it hot. Also try tightening too. Once it moves (if it moves) go back and forth tighten loosen with a little more loosen each time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 11,616 #6 Posted 29 minutes ago I do as described above, with one extra step. I do two cuts about 30 degrees apart, using the tip of the sawzall blade. Stop when you see the threads in the blobk. Clamp onto the small section - lift & wiggle it out to remove. Now crush the large portion, twist it counter clockwise to remove it. Now the part that really matters - clean the block threads. A pipe tap works best - used by hand. A small wire detailing brush will work but takes a lot longer. All this with the exhaust valve closed. Then blow it out with compressed air - a computer keyboard duster can works great for this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
