- Disconnecting rubber exhaust hangers can be a real bear but it's possible with needle nose pliers, some silicone grease, and the right technique. Pay attention to your O2 sensors and you can carefully lower an exhaust away from your car to work on or above it.
The car featured is a Ford Mondeo Mk3 with a Duratec HE (single exhaust system).
You will need:
Silicone grease (Amazon links - US: amzn.to/2dv7lY2 | UK: amzn.to/2erht5w )
Needle nose pliers...
...or, if you're a weakling, you can get specialist exhaust hanger pliers. Amazon links -

Nice tip! This helped me finally get them off after a half hour of struggling.
If you use channel lock pliers you can put the upper part of the jaws on the metal nub of the hanger while using the lower jaw to pull the rubber off. This method of latching on to only the rubber could easily damage it.
You saved my day. Good to buy the tool if available easily. In my part of the world, I can't get it easily. Thanks.
Great video, my tailpipe rusted out and dropped so getting a replacement.
You saved my day. I can go on with my job. Thank you!
Wd 40 spray on the rubber then twin pry bars (back to back )to force them off, it's how I've done it for the last 40 years
very helpful! thanks
Great video! Thanks
Excellent tip. I really don't wanna buy a tool which just does 1 thing and will only be needed once. I'm gonna change my mufflers to make my car louder and probably never go near it again.
man, was like nails on a chalkboard when i seen u drop the exhaust that low, did u crack the block at the headers?
You can cut it off with a blade if your replacing it.
Nice changing my fuel pump
Good video! Your nearside rear tyre looks a little dangerous. I 'am not sure what the tread wear limit is where you live, though :-)
Good spotting, you're right it needs replacing.
If you had used channel lock pliers it would have been much easier.
Nice wd40 and needle nose came off in less than 5 minutes
Great way to rip them that way
Ill just buy the tool. 30 bucks and less work. But good video nonetheless
when your a flate rate tech in a high volume exhaust shop time is money and this takes way to much time buy the tool there not that much . if your a diyer well then keep doing it your way
Not good advise. Can tear bushing.
