It won't wiggle off if it's been tightened right, at least in my experience...

Ah, never come across one thats been tightened right. To date i have probably changed about 40 sv collectors whilst helping at renegade.

Hum. Maybe I tighten them too much

The original one on mine needed losening and then some serious mullering to get off, though.

How kind of you Viney, everyone else would have suggested it'd got bent in a crash

Well, i managed to get the bolt undone with a lot of WD40 and an extender on the allenkey. Someone really should remind me that "lefty loosy, righty tighty" doesn't work when the bolt is upside down...

Then the sun went in

(to night)

Hopefully i'll get the exhaust off sometime soon and the rene on (once i've picked it up)
