juust how difficult would it be?i may need to change my fuel pump and im kinda in a need to know spot now...

BTW, its an 89 RS. JIC you didnt see that below

 

Jack that some ***** way high up in the air.........Higher than that. Suport the body with some stands.Put a jack under the rear end and unbolt the shocks, pan hard rod and sway bar and lower it down. Leave the control arms on and no need to disconect the brake line. Then the muffler and that gives enough space to snake the tank out.

 

i do get to keep the muffler attached though right? no dissassembly required

 

No cause the muffler is under the tank
Depending on what your exhaust is like you need to remove the muffler or drop the whole thing down after the rear end

 

umm, its all one piece after the collector.......

 

I kept the muffler and pipe intact. I just disconnected the pipe at the cat and was able to wiggle the whole exhaust out from under the car once I got the rear end low enough. This way all I need to do is replace the clamps insteadof the whole exhaust.

 

Since its one piece that is the way to do it.

 

but i cant do that... its all welded. the cat is welded to the y-pipe, and the pipes are welded to the cat... and since i cant weld worth a damn......

another idea i hope?

 

Oh fudge! No flange on the back side of the cat? Cut the pipe in an area where its perfectly round and get a piece of exhaust that will slip over it and clamp it back together. Or you can even get wide band clamps that will butt the two together but I never used them on butt joints

 

now you done and said it... oh fudge... i got a laugh out of that...

thats what i was thinking, i could cut that there fancy pipe there and pull that sucker out dat thang like i was... well... pullin a pipe out the underside of my car i suppose... YEEHAEW!
