couple of quick questions

my exhaust is blowing at the front so tonight i took off the c clips to change the gasket at the front but i cant seem to get the doughnut gasket off.any tips or special tricks you guys use when taking these off?also does anyone know what diameter gasket i need?
sound like it might be the manifold blowing but im going to try this gasket first as the bolts on the manifold dont look too clever and i think they might snap if i remove them.thanks

anyone?

ive not a clue mate but ive also got a bit of a blow in the same place will be having a go at it the weekend so will let you know how i get on maybe that will help you

yeh cheers mate.i will prob just do it but i thought before i do someone might have a tip for me to save some time.brute force is next option and then i'll have to take the gasket to get it matched up somewhere

that gasket should just come out with the help of a screw driver its a wire type just sits in the down pipe not sure on the size just replaced mine and downpipe

got it off today with a prybar and a hammer!had to lower the antiroll bar tho for the downpipe to clear enough to get the gasket out!get a new one tomorrow now
