Just wrestled with my exhaust for about 4 hours before finding out that you need a Hanger Removal Pliers to remove the hangars from rubber. not sure if it's possible to remove without them?

Having a lift so you can make good use of a rubber mallet (or sledge hammer) is very helpful too.

(A good power wash underneath so all the leftover trail material doesn't fall in your eyes would have been a good idea too)

 

A little squirt of Armor All and pull them off with your hands works for me...

 

x 2

works great and to put them back on

 

WD-40 works well. I pulled my Gibson off, pretty lound on long trips. When my JK is not my DD I will prob put it back on.

 

WD-40 did the trick for me on the hangars too.

They're a PITA though.

 

That or dish washing soap...You can also use a large screw driver or a pry bar to help with the rubber hangars....

 

Large screwdriver for pry-bar with lube worked on some of mine,
Riciprocating saw took care of the others!

 

PB'Laster and a long pry bar.

 

Saliva ain't bad.....
