Ok, ‘74 MY basically stock, I am helping a friend replace the muffler on a pretty much original car.
Is it necessary to remove the rear valance to replace the muffler? Mike |

It's only 6 screws if I recall and pretty easy to remove. Makes muffler removal/replacement a lot easier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I've changed mufflers several times with the rear valence in place. Never had a problem. In fact I never thought this would be easier if I had removed the valence.

If you have the later shorty valance, problem not a problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The real question is
How rusty are the fasteners? |

Rusty fasteners? Start with some Aero-Kroil. Give it some time to do it’s thing.
