Got a Japspeed Twin Silenced, Im struggling to remove the bung from teh backbox....

Anyone got any home made devices that I would be able to make up to get the bung out?

Or what have you used to get teh bung out, its in there tighter than a ducks arse...

Cant say for a japspeed exhaust but every other one ive ever seen is held in place with a bolt, not wanting to seem patronising or anything but have you looked underneath if there is one? normally take that out and they slide striaght out

I had the same problem with mine Blitzer - What i did - i had some domestic twin and earth wiring knocking about and made a crude hook with the end. Stuck it in the pipe + hooked the bung. Came right out with a good tug.

how did you "hook" the bung?

 

[RichR34]

tie one end of the wire around a rats tail, then kick it as far down the exhaust as you can, start the engine and it will naturally run back out, hooking the bung in the process.

Doubled up the wire and did this :-

LOL, sorry I have already tried that its stuck in there VERY tight!!! Ive managed to get hold of a trolley jack handle with a t at the end im sure this will do the trick!!!!

PMSL, use a rats tail....

 

[DVDA 1980]

yours must be tighter than mine

 

[D-Ranged]

Maybe turn the car on and try so the metal expands a bit?

 

[Ultimatequinoxe]

I use the end of a trolley jack handle ( with the little pin bit ) to slide into the bung and gentle tap/pull till it comes out, ( on my Japspeed twin silencer system ).

 

[Ultimatequinoxe]

Opps, sorry just realised thats what you said ! works for me everytime, hopefully you too !

 

[Nino_Brown]

What about a good old fashioned coat hanger?

It might be eazier when its hot....doesnt mean it will be safer right enough

 

[D-Ranged]

Have you managed to get it out yet mate?

 

[james_R33]

They are quite tight!! i got mine out with the tool i use to jack up my jack! worked a treat, its just a bar with a metal hook at one end.

Quality exhaust!

I eventually had to get a steel 10mm hex rod and get a nut welded to the end of it, so it could hook the end of the bung. It took 5 minutes hitting a hammer to the other end to come out. It was VERY tight...

sounds like it needed some lube...
