Hi All, I'm part way through stripping down the back of my car and was wondering if anyone had any tips for the following tasks:
1. removing the smaller 70mm nut&bolt that holds the silencer to the bracket. these have rusted away to a little point but are still holding firm. I have removed the exhaust tips and cat clamps, plus the 125mm nuts but I can't get anything in the gap between silencer and manifold to remove this smaller rearmost nut. Any advice gratefully received!!
2. Heatshield fixings. Quite a few of my various heatshield fixings have broken as a result of some bi-metallic corrosion with the steel screw and I was wondering if there is a type of washer that would suit to reaffix these with the original screws.
3. Exhaust paste: is this required when reassembling the cat clamps and exhaust tips?
Cheers.
