Re: 1952 3/4 Ton Rebuild
Well I removed the intake/exhaust.
Of course Bag and Tag everything
The bolts on the flange were stuck, and I had no way to get the proper leverage to get the exhaust pipe off. I knew the pipe was a but rusted so I figured a bit of movement would break the pipe down by the frame.
I removed the manifolds, and they just dropped, I caught them in time, and pulled up. I didn't know the pipe had already rotted through so I pulled all that from the engine bay. Kinda felt like pulling a rabbit from a hat.
The bolts are really stuck on there. I tried to get them off, but I figured I'd save that for another day. So I thought, "if the pipe is already coming apart, maybe I can crimp it so much, that it breaks just under the flange."
I hit the pipe with a ball peen hammer, and thought I was almost there, but the pipe actually slipper out. In the picture you can see where I was hitting the exhaust pipe, and where it shredded
