Ok some of you may remember that I had a radius crack on the outer diameter on the R-77's a while back, and although Yoshi didn't give me a right side exhaust like I felt they should have, the sold me the end cap for the exhaust.".insert smart alecky thanks for nothing you suck smiley here"
So today, in this glorious frikin heat..I endeavor to repalce/swap the end caps on the exhaust...pop rivets drilled through..Check! tap out rivets so end cap slides off..Check..bit of a biatch to get the cap off but got it off..
So, now comes the fun....since the crack was now at about 90% radius the internal pipe that slides of the internal exhaust needs to come off, no problem, some penetrating oil, sit for a while and then twist...and twist...and twist, oh wait it's not twisting. Get the rubber mallet tap it out..and tap and tap, no movement. Get a REAl hammer and start tapping it to get it out...still no luck. I have beat on this thing for the last hour and NO movement..I know Im a bit of a boffoon but WTF..can someone give me ANY advice on how to get this damn thing off????
