How is this even possible? Do they need to be cut off? If so, what do I use to cut them?

I installed the hangers at the same time I installed my Tsudo exhaust, but just removed my Tsudo yesterday. It wasn't a huge deal getting the Tsudo off because the hangers on the Tsudo don't have the knobbed ends like the factory exhaust.

However, after putting the factory exhaust back on it has become apparent that there is no way I'll be able to get it back off without destroying the hangers.

Not a huge deal for most of the exhaust, but I'll be buying a used TRD axleback this week. I'm going to need a way to get the stock axleback back off so I can get the TRD on there...

 

i just installed my torque solutions hangers and they were a pain to get over the bumps that come stock on the car. only suggestion i have is buckets full of wd40 lol. good luck and let us know how it goes

 

Yup, tried a handful of different kinds of lubricants. The problem is that the back side of the ***** are flat, while the fronts of them are slanted. This makes them easy to put on, but impossible to get off.

 

This

Lots of lube. You can't go in dry.

 

I never considered going in dry.

 

Try using a screwdriver to pry the hangars around the flat part of the *****.

 

They make a tool for removing them.

 

What is this?? Is there a link??

 

Bluepoint makes this one. I will get the part number off it in a couple minutes. I am sure other companies have them as well.

 

Part number is YA3202.

 

Why would I spend over 40 on these when I can just get replacement hangers??

 

Idk. You asked how to take them off. I use them because I take them off customers cars occasionally and I can then reuse them. Look for other brands.

 

No no don't get me wrong that was a great find. I'm just getting all the options I can. Thanks man.

 

All it is is a exhaust hanger removal tool. Cheap ones r like 20 bux. Rent one from the parts store then boom bam its off us it a lot really easy to use

 

$28 on
The irony is it took me 3 sec to find it by googling "exhaust hanger removal tool" yet none of us thought of that. Thanks for bringing us back to reality dstock1088!

By the way, you actually run that Celica in DS for AutoX?

EDIT: Or one for $7...

 

I found those and counted them out since they all say they are used for rubber hangers. Paul I know you know these TS hangers are a whole different animal.

 

my friend got something similar for real cheap at harbor freight. we used it on mine

however when i did it I just used 2 thin metal sticks to slide it over

 

You used torque solution hangers? And you were able to get them OFF??

 

no regulars haha

 

Laaaaame this thread is for TS hangers
