how hard is it to change the exhaust from after market back to stock, i have a stock exhaust from heritage and was thinking of tackling the job myself never tinkered with the bus always let my mate do it as he is a mechanic if its a straight forward nut and bolt jobby i think i would like to have a go, give me a sense of acheivement :lol: :lol:

pictures and advice would help
 
If you have all the correct bits including a fitting kit etc and you don't mind the odd bloody knuckle you should be ok.

Have plenty of swear words to hand - get the right combination of swear words and Hey Presto!
 
spray every nut and bolt to come of with wd40 the day before and in the morning ,take your time and it should be a doddle :)
 
and make sure everything is cold, and use plenty of exhaust heat putty stuff on the gaskets save finding leaks when you run the engine and everything is then hot :?
 
i did the same thing recently and to be honest it was a lot easier than i though it would be , as others have said spray the nuts well with a good easing spray before attempting to undo them , you shouldn't snap any studs if you take it easy but you can if you're gung ho with the wrench .
