My hot side exhaust completely rusted through, disintegrated with the lightest touch. I think the wrap was all that was holding it together. I have a few questions.
1 - any advice on removing the bolts for the flange? one is stuck and the other head broke off. I've been spraying it down with PB Blaster and plan to try an impact wrench after more soaking. On the one with the missing head, I'm hoping that after getting the flange off its just a matter of getting a good grip with a pair of locking pliers. Any extra advice is appreciated.
2 - when rebuilding with iron pipe how do you get proper tightness (torque) and angle alignment? I've read not to use sealant on the threads so just curious how to get everything to balance out.
3 - where can I get the 1 5/8" rubber hose that connects the water injection to the water lift muffler? Assuming West Marine. What's on there now doesn't look too bad but as long as I'm rebuilding this figure I'd replace that as well.
Any other random advice going into this?
