As the title asks, will this Halfords 860W Grinder (£14.49) be OK?

It certainally will just don't forget to cover the swing arm and paintwork!

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

definitely, the sparks can damage the paintwork too. Worth covering everything up :)

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

i used a large piece of cardboard between exhaust and swingarm.

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

I used a hacksaw and two blades.

The feeling of accomplishment after 30 minutes was well worth it! :cool:

(Oh and total cost approx £5)

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

yeppo it can be done with a hacksaw

so you could save some cash

owever- for £15.. every man should own an angle grinder

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

Although it'll get threw most of it without a problem, as It's only a 4 or 41/2 inch job it won't reach all the way so you may need to cut the last bit by hand (or go from the top then bottom).

Cheers Mark.

Just the one? Like all good tools a set of different sizes is better, 1 1/2", 4", 4 1/5", 7" & the daddy 9", it's all good.:D

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

Or a 12" still saw:cool:

UKI..

I am only up the road from you ..
Butt Lane.. near red bull lights..

you can borrow my grinder if you wanna save the dosh !.. no problems.. mind u £15 is a bargain.. itll cost u £5 in petrol to get to me and back huh!.

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

Am I missing something here? Can't you just unbolt the exhaust?

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

Indeed you can, although a Mr Suzuki fitted the SV with a one piece system you'll have to buy headers, if you want to change only the can you have to cut it.

Cheers Mark.

Seems a bit of a butchery job to me, I thought the faired SV had two piece pipes with the join at the silencer and it was only the unfaired one (like mine)with the join before the 2 into 1 section. I would have thought it would be better to keep the original system in one piece for refitting before sale, or even sell it on eBay to raise the money for the can and downpipes!

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

You must have looked like popeye by the time this was done! I only had to hacksaw the last 1/2 inch and that was bloody hard work!

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

Thanks v much for the offer Quiff I've got a £10 Halfords voucher sitting around at moment though, so that's why i thought i'd buy one, using that will only cost me £5. Then i could probably sell the grinder after the jobs done or keep it for all those Angle Grinding jobs i've been putting off for ages!!

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

angle grinder sparks are fun !.

plus u could grind your knee sliders..

and they are especially useful for grinding off the padlock to the shed if you lose your key !...


(as long as the angle grinder isnt locked in the shed.. .. which of course it usually is)

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

Yes, I have been there. Now the owner of two angle grinders. Lost the keys to my shed and though what I need right now is the angle grinder to cut the lock of the door. Of course it was sitting on the shelf in the shed. :roll:

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

same me- so had to ask the neighbour for his..

BUT- have not resorted to keeping one in the kitchen drawer.

ps- Simon- Kim says she doesnt like u with that piccy.ha ha

Re: Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?
 

:lol: I have given my neighbour my spare set of keys for the new lock. So also no need for keeping my other one in the kitchen. :lol:

Tell Kim to watch the space, a new picture will replace this one soon. :wink:
