The exhaust pipe is removed if it is mechanically damaged, cracks appear in the welds, corrosion occurs, or other elements of the exhaust system are replaced.
1. While holding the clamp bolt with a wrench from turning, use a second wrench to loosen the nut 3–5 turns.
2. Insert a screwdriver into the slot of the clamp and, by pushing its branches apart, loosen the fit on the pipe.

We recommend replacing the clamp with a new one each time the system is disassembled.
