I have to say, i followed that write up, and even me being electrical rather than a clanky, i managed it in double jig time!

You do have second thoughts just before you bring the hammer down onto the chisel the first time, but just keep bashing!! lol

Did you do it on the driveway?  Or is it wise to get it on a lift.

This is on my list of jobs to do.

Will take it to my brothers garage to do on the ramps.

Is it a downpipe down or complete exhaust off job? Any tips for bashing the pre cat out? Heard can damage sensors.
