Exhaust 'y-pipe' removal



Dan,
It should just fall off. Once the 4 bolts are out, there isn't anything left
to hold them up. I had to use a sawzall to cut the exhaust bolts on my '82.
No, it wasn't easy, but I dont have a torch.
Make sure that all the hangers are undone of course. Go easy with that
sledge...if you do miss, I have a complete single exhaust available off my
82.
