Any BTDT on removing exhausts on an A2 Golf/Jetta/GTi/GLi 8V?

[Shawn Manny]

you can use an exhaust clamp with the bracket part flipped around and the
nuts on the inside to spread them apart..be careful as they are prone to
flying across the garage when pried off. If you want I can e-mail a pic of
it tonight from my home pc.
