Finally got the old exchangers off. What a gigantic PITA. I figured they'd fall right off after removing the exhaust stud bolts, but noooooooo. It took about 1 hour of coaxing per side (and a ton of cursing) before they let go.
Here's the old: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |

rob, if you go to costco, they sell a product named Oil Eater. go with a weak (as in not so much water) delution in a 5 gal bucket and let it soak. what's left of the grime will wash of easily and actually the old paint will lift off. not fumy/explosive like lac thinner, mek, brake cleaner, etc. a gal jug is cheap, $10ish or so and it goes a long way. just the way we like things. you might find it easier to install the 2 branch elbows on the hes first. they won't be in the way. the rest of the ducting has to be done after the he's are installed.
