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

[82 Diesel Westy]

Wow, for $40 I think I will get that nifty tool, I
wonder if it works in reverse as well.  I had to beat
up my exhaust down pipe at the one bend a bit getting
it in my old Bosal muffler when putting everything
back on the 1.9na.

Thanks Maynard
