I’ve literally just had this on my bike (thread in here too).
Watch the middle Allen bolt, it’s a nightmare.
There isn’t much room for any of it tbh, but with some patience (swearing) I got everything done without the need to remove anything else.
Nice big spanners for the top/bottom bolts. I would suggest some penetration fluid for the middle one...at the very least!
I managed to find a second hand original pipe, cleaned it up and repainted. I also bought the eBay flexible version for future in case it fails.
