Want to remove the leaking exhaust pipe between the exhaust manifold (stock) and the Cat to repair the crack at the weld. Anybody ever done this themselves? Want to take it out in one piece. I don't see how to get it off the truck. All bolts are off. It is loose, but either the torsion spring, cross member or somethings gotta be removed, or I just don't get it. Ideas

 

It was remove the cross-member. Remove 3 bolts, loosen 4th bolt and pivot the cross-member to the passenger side., Then remove the exhaust support from the bellhousing. Problem solved. Crack is welded and all is good for now.

 

it is hard to remove and takes time you just have to play with it and move it side to side
