Brute force and ignorance mate, on lots of previous attempts i found i was being too much of a wimp and was too scared off slipping and hurting myself

A squirt of WD40 always makes it a lot easier aswell

As said, wd40, oil, liquid soap, whatever and it's come off very easily.

If you cant get the old exhaust mounts off just cut it off!. I know its gonna be a struggle getting the new ones on but at least you would have saved your energy for it LOL
