Hello,
I'm in the process of removing the entire exhaust system from my 75 with the intention of back-dating. I remove all of the exhaust stud nuts and the muffler. It looks like the exhaust tubes are pretty tight against the push-rod tubes.

In addition, the drivers side is not really moving around. Any tips on what I should remove to get the heat exchangers out?

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
I removed my exhaust system last year...remove the 8 nuts that hold the exhaust pipe/ heat exchanger from the engine...most of them will be easy to get to, remove those first then you can wiggle the heat exchanger a bit which will allow you to get to the hard to get nuts...try to use a thin walled socket (possibly 13mm) I ground down a socket to make it work...after the nuts are off the exhaust should come off of the studs...there is a spacer type washer (oval) between the engine and the heat exchanger...where are you located on Long Island?
