Taking the downpipes off any tips?

:wall for the umpteenth foccing time... Not wd40! Use a proper penetrating oil, plus gas, or the products made by 3in1 or wd40, that are designed specifically for the job. Wd40 (in the blue and yellow can) is good at what it was designed for - water displacement.
