Fitting exhaust on van

canhefixit

Anyone fitted or know how to fit a flexi exhaust part on a transit connect? I have the flexi part and had a try to fit and the end towards the engine just has zero room whatsoever to get anything in to cut the pipe unless someone here knows a way?

Is it just a universal flexi joint you have to weld in or is it the specific part from ford or Bosal?

It's one that is made for this van specifically, its one that you just cut out the old one and clamp in the new but access is serious lacking on one end but I'm guessing it can be done someway

You probably have to take off the exhaust at the restricted end, to cut the piece out that you need to. Then reinstall it.

If only that were possible, the nuts on the manifold or badly rusted and one just rounded of without even using too much pressure, this is why I'm using the flexi section now

OK that's a universal part, not specific for the vehicle. You'll need to heat the nuts at the manifold to remove them to fit the flexi. If it's beyond your capacity then head to a garage.
