Standard 182 exhaust removal

[Chris205]

What's the best way to go about getting this out as far as I'm aware it's a one piece system? I'm swapping the standard exhaust so cutting really isn't an option


I've heard that dropping the axle is the common thing to do but how do I do this as I've never done it before. Cheers

I would be suprised if its a once piece system, there must be a join in it somewhere.

No right or wrong way for removing, from the backbox forward would be the way i would do it

It is a one piece system, unless it's had a new centre box At some time like mine had. So yeah it's either cut it or drop the axel

 

[WILLIE]

Drop the rear axle or use a hack saw. I chose the latter

 

[Chris205]

Usually I would just chop it off but I need to do a swap with someone so can't give them two bits of exhaust without a propper join lol

Before droping the rear axle try rotating the whole exhaust system 180 degrees, so youre flipping the back boxes upside down, should come straight out then

I took the rear bumper off, and lowered the rear axle.

Renault do a joint kit specifally for this. Joins above the rear axle. Jack it up high enough and you can get it out without dropping the axle.

removed my exhaust 2day, did it on axel stands, just chop the f**a. i just chopped it infront of the rear beam, if you have to re-use just get a sleeve.
