    Rusting exhaust (removal)

    Apart from heat, twisting, swearing and soaking in wd40...

    Has anyone got any tips?

    I got a second hand janspeed backbox and centre section, but I couldn't get them apart for love nor money when they were not on the car.

    I fitted them in the hopes to fit a brand new standard centre section I bought.

    I have even gone to the point of getting a screwdriver and hammer and took about half of it away but its on solid now.

    I would like to hack through mild steel but I am lazy and would like to avoid.

    I was hoping that someone might have a special spray can or special trick I dont know of tbh.

    I dont have a blow torch and to answer the question no it wont be used again.

    You know when something just does your head in so much you want to just kick it in hopes it fixes itself.

    Some things are just too annoying.
