I can't seem to get my exhaust gaskets off. The one which seals between the cylinder and curved pipe. They :bang: :bang: are stuck solid, no amount of WD40, penetrating oil. I even tried the cheap HarborFreight vice grip but no luck 73 RD350
You mean the gasket like this?
they go rock hard after time and heat cycles. I use a thin flat screwdriver to scrape them out in pieces.Screenshot 2023-09-07 at 13-48-06 Motorcycle Exhaust Gaskets and Seals for Yamaha RD350 for sale eBay.png
Seal puller and a small block of wood or a rag folded over a bunch to pry against.
rodneya yes. Don't have a seal puller, will try the rag over screw driver. If only the ones we want to stick, stick this well :haw:
yeah just dig em out. have a spring pulling tool w a hook? that can help as well.
Thanks to all, I used a flat bed screwdriver to pull the right one out. IT came out as vegetable curly :burnout: slice
