Exhaust nipple removal K341

I've used the same basic procedure on my things. Most notable,  Chevy V-8 oil filters. Back in the late 70's early 80's we used to get GM powered motor homes come in the shop. They would have 20,000or so miles on them with the original filter still there. The filter would crush so we would have to tear the metal can off leaving the metal filter base with all the drain holes in it.I would use an air hammer and a blunt punch and catch one of the holes and spin off the base.

Just the other day I got the nipple out of the one on my own k341.

I've been soaking it with PB Blaster and Kroil once or twice a month or whenever I remember since maybe January?

I put a pipe wrench on the nipple and then put a piece of straight exhaust pipe probably 5 feet long on the pipe wrench.

The first couple times I bit into it, it started to crush the pipe.

I did this on purpose twice and kept moving the wrench up a little each time.

By crushing the pipe I was separating the threads from the nipple to the bushing.

Repeated two or three times and it started to turn.
