risk of exhaust swap
Was looking at swapping exhaust from one bike to another. The donor bike is in great shape aside from the usual rust on the exhaust studs. What is the risk of trying to get the exhaust off of rusty studs? Can they break? Can the strip?
I have concerns that Ill end up with one big old mess if these nuts don't spin off easily. Anything I can do to assist them? wd40? Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Use Kroil penetrating oil on them. Treat them at least twice a day and tap studs lightly with hammer. Do this for 2 or 3 days and they should come off.

Ive never had a problem removing the nuts off the studs, use some penetrating oil and do as the above said.
