Help switching axle back exhaust.

Hi. I'm wanting switch axle backs. Was able to get everything unclamped and off the hangers but having trouble pulling it off the stock piping. Can twist and turn it but can't pull it off. Any advice? Thanks.

Try WD-40 or some other lubricant spray or get a screwdriver and tap on it with a hammer.

NO WD-40. It's a lubricant NOT a penetrant. You'll need something like PB blaster or the like. Have you tried light tapping on the muffler?

If you buy PB, be careful as they sell both a Penetrating Catalyst and a Lubricant. Just make sure you read the can past the "PB" and not get yourself an extra can of lubricant. Also, in case you are wondering if there is a difference between the two.....there is a BIG difference. The Penetrating version works crazy good. I used it on my O2 sensors and they came out incredibly easy with no thread damage.
