Exhaust replacement...

Paul240480 · Jun 19th, 2018, 15:34

Got a little bit stuck on this. 99' T5 V70.
Removing old exhaust. Got most off, having angle grinding through it.
Just got a bit left from the join just aft of the cat.
This join has a clamp and two bolts. 10mm won't go on the nuts. 11mm just spins, too big?.
Anyone know the correct size please. Can't see it being imperial?

On my '96 TDI they are 13mm both nut and bolt. Try remove as much crud as possible and see if you can tap on a 10mm socket on each nut.

I had the same recently, i just bought a new clamp (7.50) and angle grinded the old one off

Cool where did you get the clamp from?

If it's the original clamp it's designed/formed to compress the flange of the rear pipe onto the one coming from the cat. Can you get an angle grinder or hacksaw between to two sections of the clamp? If you can release one side the two sections should then swivel allowing you to remove it. Two new bolts and Bob's your Uncle
