jammed up exhaust pipe
took the exhaust down pipes of the italian flag 1997 700 monster i bought last year ,, as i want it to be polished only problem is the rear down pipe is seized to the front pipe ,, was a real wrestle to get off ,the clamp came off easy , now on work bench in the vice it wont budge even with oxy heat , penetrating oil, big hammers , pipe wrenches ,, massive weight ,, it seems that its welded together somehow ??

The two parts are corroded together, the stainless pipe is not the best quality stainless. I think I would try some brick cleaner (hydrochloric acid I think) trickled into the joint, it should not damage the stainless but will attack the corrosion.
If you are unsure try dropping a rusty bolt into some brick cleaner and after about 15 minutes it comes up like new. Obviously you should also try a stainless bolt to see if it damages it. I think the acid will dissolve the corrosion and then with some diesel/acetone mix or plus gas or similar that should lubricate it sufficiently for it to move. Also I have found using rotational force initially is more likely to break the corrosion bond. |

Just noticed someone has added a strap line under my forum name - if you are going to do it please it should read "too"

Much has been mentioned on Harpic 10X for cleaning stainless pipes so maybe if you have some handy you could try soaking in that? That is unless you have brick cleaner in stock?
I think the strap line is auto based on number of posts made. Mine's the same typo.

You may be able to edit the strap line yourselves.
Log in as you, then click on the ‘user CP’ tag on top left corner of page. Pick ‘Edit your details’ Scroll down to ‘Custom User Title’ and off you go.... (Don’t forget to click ‘Save changes’ at the bottom of the page!)

Good old malt vinegar is diluted acetic acid, will be a lot safer to use than hydrochloric and most kitchen cupboards have a bottle, particularly effective when you have alloy and steel components corroded together but well worth a try, atb S.

Between your username and avatar.
Exactly where Darkness says it is, yours reads ’registered user’, mine reads ‘.’ unless you found it in User CP and changed it while I was typing this. Darren69 is correct, it’s auto generated by the forum based on number of posts etc. unless you set a custom one. Last edited by slob; 01-05-2020 at 11:12 AM.. |

You are on the right page. Have you scrolled down a bit @jez?

Isn’t there a ‘Custom User Title’ option in the ‘Optional Information’ that is at the bottom of your screenshot?
