Recently got a hole in the exhaust tube of my 71 Mustang. Any tips on how to remove the tube? I'm guessing the gas tank is going to have to come out. Any tips on removing that? Thanks -Nathan ------------- 71 Mustang |

I think you're talking about the rubber hose, if it has a hole then just cut it off. Old stiff hose will be difficult to remove intact. Removing the gas tank might not be necessary but gettingt out is pretty straight forward. |

I did this on my Century Resorter years ago. On my boat I did not need to remove the tank. The tubes fit fairly easily over the through hull fittings. Yes you need to be on your belly in the bilge of the boat. Make sure to double hose clamp the tubes in place. The hard part and it was extremely hard was getting the tubes on the exhaust manifolds. The tubes are very stiff and have little to no give. Good luck. ------------- JD ski, slicing, dicing, and shredding since 1981 1999 Air Nautique, GT40 Pro Boss, Trail Rite trailer 1975 Century Resorter |

The tank will need to come in order access the rear hose clamps. It will be obvious how the tank comes out once you pull the back panel and take a look Has the foam been removed from your exhaust pockets already? Hoses were still foamed in from the factory in '71. |

It depends on the type of exhaust elbows/risers but on logs with elbows, I actually find it easier to disconnect the aft end of the engine. Then you raise the aft end up and drop it down on slowly as you fit the exhaust hose. The method also gives you an opportunity to do an alignment which you probably should be doing anyway!!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
