Default That rear left exhaust hanger.

I've thrown all types of grease and lubes at it but it won't come off. I got all the other hangers off in a few minutes, and this last one is staring at me laughing.

Anyone got any tips? I'm working with just jack stands, so not a lot of room and leverage under there. I'm gonna give it another try tomorrow morning before I consult the hacksaw.

when i did my rsx i was having issues too. I shoved the biggest screw driver i could find in between the hanger and the metal thing and finally got it off after a while.

if not, then i guess cut it? lol

just soak it in WD-40 and lift up on the exhaust to alleviate tension while pulling on the rubber hanger. If all else fails, you can buy exhaust hanger removal tools. They are 3 pronged tools that helps push the rubber hanger off the chassis hanger.

Or if that fails, cut it and pay <$5 for a new one and save yourself the headache

Got it off finally using a big flathead screw driver as a prybar, a lot of F bombs and busted knuckles. I'm getting too old for this crap.
