Default Exhaust donut

Is there some trick to getting exhaust donuts on I don't know about? I've
been swearing at this thing for over and hour now!

Steve if you mean slide them onto the pipe, try some wd40 or such on the
pipe flange.

Is it getting it apart or back together that has got you?

A stiff hook on the end of a T-handle does wonders on the hard ones.
You can buy one or make one by cutting 5" off an old shovel handle and
drilling a hole in the middle for the hook. Find something really stiff
and fashion the hook. Or you could buy something for $3.

Ya, I figured out how to get it on, first step is to make sure the part
store sells you the right one. Then it should go on okay.

a small rural repair shop go thru, wait 3 days for a part for a customers
car, wrong one and of course who gets " thrown under the bus".
