Okay so I have put the viper can, but last night it was pointed out I fitted it slightly wrong, so I have manage to get the link pipe and the end can of the bike, bit getting the link pipe out of can doh....

How can I break the selant in the link pipe going into the end its very soild in there, have struggled and cursed its still stuck.....any ideas? Is there anything that can dislove it? I have little hands which probally doesn't help!

Brute force and ignorance work pretty well for me.

Twisting action/ try break it down with carb cleaner / penetrant oil etc.

I use TT+, duck oil's OK too.

Any motor factors/halfrauds etc.


Also try give it a whack with a hammer

I gave up trying to get it off, so I think I have manage to the can and link pipe back on the bike, so it looks better I think....its all good and on right.

I'll put some photos on so people can see if it looks any better, but that will be tomorrow after the bike has been washed:D Its well dirty so I will give it a good clean before the lowers go back on!
