How to get GT550 exhaust off

Mitch wrote in

angle grinder?

 

I've been trying to get the exhaust off my Kaw GT550 but the b*****d 2 hole
flanges that clamp the downpipes to the head are seriously seized onto the
studs and wont shift.

Any ideas?? Have tried levers but the alloy is so soft it just breaks the
fins. I thought maybe a hole saw but they don't do them small enough. It'd
be nice if I can get them off without totally destroying the exhaust and
engine!

Thx

Mitch

I had a good grindage today sharpening the lawnmover blades.

Angle grinders truely are a gift from God.

 

Liberal application of lubricant left to soak overnight but if that doesn't
do the trick a blowtorch should.

Actually, I think they're from the other feller.

Not that that's a *bad* thing, you understand...
