Default 2004 Honda Accord Passenger Exhaust Rubber Hanger

How the flop do u take off than darn passenger rubber hanger on the exhaust? I'm trying to install a Curt Hitch so I can put a bike carrier on my 2004 Honda Accord. I must admit, I've never even changed the oil in any vehicle I've owned and I'm 41 years old so be kind.....hehe! I even sprayed it will lube. I figured I could at least do this but I spend 2 hours just getting dirty.

You just have to muscle if off. I think I used pliers and lube but don't remember any extraordinary problems. It my help to deflect the exhaust pipe towards the hanger bracket on the car to loosen any tension in the rubber.

good luck

Texans favor "awl" for lubrication. Helps the local economy.

good luck
