i have spent part of today trying to remove my downpipes,the bike has done 70k and there was not much in the way of nuts left,the only reconisable nut was on the left side downpipe,and the only downpipe that is not rotted to hell.the inner nut was very corroded though.the problem im having is the downpipes are well and truely stuck in the head (well 3 of them are) the rust has swelled then in there.
