Got a Screaming Demon for my Hyo but the exhaust bolts are rusted shut

Not to mention a power band upgrade ... the blue ones those Hyo's came out with are shite ...

I think there is now a Maurice Williamson rainbow power band available.
Hellloooo Boys!!!!

Have a crack at it after you have been for a ride and the muffler is hot.

Farkin Hyobags ..........even the muffler won't come off!

DON'T hacksaw down that slot , you will fuck the flange that you want to bolt the new muffler up to.
They look like button head capsrews, are you using the correct size good quality allen key (metric, imperial etc).
Sounds like you have stuffed the heads, you may get away with putting some oil based valve grinding paste
on the correct allen key and trying again(works on screws too).
You could cut the heads off with a 1mm cutoff disc on a grinder(carefully)
You may get lucky and get them with vicegrips but I doubt it.
Tack weld abit of flat to the end of the cap screw and wind out with adjustable spanner.
Possibly smack the heads off with a coldchisel with exhaust supported.

Hmm thoughts on hacksawing the bolt heads off? What I am thinking of doing is taking her for a ride then maybe trying Vice Grips and see if they work. If not then I will try a dremel or a hacksaw on the bolt heads and feel free to tell me if it sounds like a completely stupid idea.


To all the others there, thank you for your constructive advice and yes there are plenty of those who hate hyos but what can I say she is my first girl and I love her to bits

i guess the new exhaust has threaded holes?? if so
take that to a fastening shop and buy some stainless bolts that fit
you may need a new gasket or some high temp silicone to seal the old gasket if reusing

A good pair of visegrips plus using the allen key as well could work?

Then take it to a Bike shop and get it fitted with stainless bolts. No more problems in future.

Continuing with the butchery using incorrect tools ... can only go bad.
