[Vwdiesel] tips for removing exhaust? - non-vw

[Will Taygan]

Okay first of all, I bought a rusty old 1975 240d mercedes (diesel of
course).  It's my first foray out of vw diesels, but here in the
hinterlands we gotta take the selection there is (and the family is
growing so we need more seats than the old truck..)

Anyway,  The downpipe is broken where it slides into the main exhaust
pipe (proper name?).  I can cut the bolts off the manifold (bolts, not
studs, yee haw.)

But I'm a little stumped as to how to remove the 6" piece that's broken
off inside the main exhaust pipe.  Is there a special tool/technique for
this?  I was thinking to holding a hacksaw blade and cutting two sides
of the inner broken pipe and then using a cold chisel, but that seems to
be the hard way to do it.

THANKS!
