I tried to put some long exhaust hangers on, it seems like they don't really want to go in. Any suggestions or advice on what to do? TIA

Anyone know where I can take it to in the berkeley surroundings to get it put on, cheap. Maybe I just don't have sufficient brute force?

Anyone have anytime to help me out?

 

i use a little wd40 when taking off/putting exhaust hangers.

 

A bit of lubrication, like WD40 or a silicone based lubricant should work. Bit of a warning, if you plan to take them off, they are a pain in the butt. You shouldn't have problems though. I heard some people with the Perrin cat back needed to bore out the hanger hole, since the Perrin cat back has huge mounts.

 

Get some Lithium Grease - works 100% better than WD40. And then just use your muscles - be careful not to punch yourself in the face or punch your exhaust (it does happen )

 

i used some wd40 and a large screw driver (2foot long) just pryed the old ones off and the new ones slipped on pretty easy

 

I bought a $50 Snap-on exhaust hangar too... Works wonders (and yes that $50 was waaay to much to spend on such a stupid tool, but its probalby one of my most-used tools)

 

what the?! there is a tool for exhaust hangers? wow, I've got to see this

edit: oh for removal...

another lesson learned...pain comes with no lube

 

Works for installing too... I just turn it around.

 

I'm surprised that no one has commented about what you said last. Open seaon in 1, 2, 3.............

 

hehe I am surprised as well...

 

damn, you're too far, otherwise I would ask to see if I could borrow it for a few.
