The hanging bit that goes in the rubber was nearly rusted through, weird really cause like you said the pipe looked ok

I think I'm going to have to get someone to do it I haven't got the tools :unsure:

Funnily enough I did just the exact thing to my exhaust as well to make room to take the fuel tank off! I ended up taking a block hammer and chisel to it in frustration! :whistle: both parts looked fine but were rotten through at the joints. I've just ordered the replacements from eBay, not looking forward to trying to attach them again after my handiwork today :laugh:

So you feel my pain irishguy123 I haven't a clue how to get the seized bolts out on the pipe with the cat on it,

Did yours come off clean enough??

Nope the bolts are still attached to the pipe from the cat! I think i'll probably have to take the hacksaw to them and then just knock them out!

It's things like this that make me fantasise about importing a Jimny from Japan with their spotless-never-seen-salt undersides! :lol:

i get so scared every time i see pics of the undersides of your cars...
we have jimnys in the portuguese forums that go thru hard lifes, river crossings,mud, low maintenance, and i am yet to see one with a rust problem, apart from the ocasional surface rust due to some oil dripping that wasn't properly cleaned.
the uk is the scary campfire story the samurais told the jimnys
