Any hints? Is it as straightforward as it seems?

You will need to buy a pipe expander and you probably already have the other
tools needed. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=37353 Don't tighten any of the clamps until you have all the parts installed so you can jiggle them about to get the best fit. -- ..

As straightforward as it might be, working on an exhaust system is seldom
easy. "Mel P." > wrote in message ... > Any hints? Is it as straightforward as it seems? > > -- > Mel > > 96 Cherokee > > |

Have you paid to have the bottles refilled lately? That's getting to
be one damned expensive wrench! Of course here, about half the cost is the "hazardous materials" fee. What a crock.

Hi Will,
Maybe some of that is all the old people on oxygen. I tired throw away a small Television, it fit within the garbage container that is mechanically lifted to the truck, the driver got out, fished it out, and left it on the curb with a note to take it to their hazardous materials depot, and that's only open for a couple of hours two or three days a week. It sat in the back of my Bronco for ten days before I finally found it open.

Expensive enought to make me start looking at the Miller MIG welder I gave my old TV away to a charity that rebuilds things (if they can). The old PC montior just went with the trash. Taped the glass well and set it out for pickup. The trash folk here will take anything but prefer not to have suprises in the bin. Chemicals and oil (even filters) have to go to the hazmat drop-off but they are open till 6pm and some times on Saturday. They had fun when I brought down an old, rusty, but still charged 12oz fogger can of Baygone and some other slightly lethal kritterkiller chemicals. I was wearing a chemical suit and they thought I was kidding till the unloading started. Then they got geared up too. -- DougW |

When I think of some of the stuff I pulled out of Dad's barn after he
passed away, I shuuder. Of course, the merest whiff of malathion is enough to send me running after flying cover for the Ranch Hand missions in 'Nam.

Have you ever done an exhaust system before?
I gave up on doing them because they normally end up being 'WAY' more pain in the butt than they are worth. After 6 or 8 hours, or by the second day and with dead saw blades, ripped knuckles, stripped bolt/nut heads, cursing, jacking then cursing more when you figure no way that @#$%^ tailpipe is going over that axle without it being on a hoist, that $100.00 labor they wanted at the muffler shop is cheap!
