what do you mean,the y pipe wont slide toward the engine to reinstall the exhaust donuts clamp,

i had the same problem with mine what help was where you loosen the bolts for the y pipe if you look in there you will see like a flange in there that you can tap with whatever you can find and a hammer, just tap lightly and the y pipe will start to come forward again, even better while you are taping the y pipe have someone pull the y pipe forward at the same time, my right one was a little bit of a pain..

The one gasket keeps getting push in.

i just did mine and for some reason they don't look the same,

how's the donut going so far in,

 

[APEX 06]

They still look new. It may look a little different I'm putting on a new Hauck pipe.

That gasket looks screwed. I think you need a new one.

sorry i thought you were having trouble with sliding the y pipe back into place towards to flex pipe..

Good luck, hope you get it going..

you can add some slots with a hacksaw and open the pipe up a bit, then grease the gasket and it will slide in easier. stinks a bit when started but works well.

The gasket goes on the male end first then it slides into the pipe.

XXXX2 drop the rear 2 suspension bolts... get your hand up in there and push up while sliding them on... they are a pain, had the same thing happen to me this fall. PAtiEnTs... it will go!!! hehe

I sprayed silicone on the inside pipe as well I think. slid right in. I think I bought a new one too so it wouldn't give any problems.
