Hi

I have a Fuel exhaust on a K5 (it was on when I bought).

One of the clamps broke (it was old and rusty). The clamp was over one piece of the pipe, and under another. So I guess one part of the pipe "slips over" the other.

Since then there has been an annoying low speed rattle, presumably as the inner and outer pipe knock against each other.

I got a new clamp but have put it over the outer pipe, and this hasn't helped.

The broken part of the old clamp is still in place - difficult to get out because underneath and rusted. Ideally, I need to get that out and a replacement clamp in there, but I don't think it is possible with the thing on the bike, and I also don't have anything to lift the bike up with.

Just wondering for any tips on either (a) sorting the clamp out or (b) stopping the rattle another way. Please and thank you.

I have pictures to assist, but it keeps saying "This is not a valid image file" so can't upload.
