If you’re looking to remove a rusted and corroded exhaust and replace it with a new one, it can be a time consuming and frustrating task. The nuts securing the bolts rust easily and the corroded exhaust pipe can be extremely difficult to separate.
The good news is, through the use of the Mini-Ductor II + induction heating tool, there’s no longer any need to sweat or risk injury by prying, pulling, twisting or banging on the pipes to separate the rest of the exhaust again.
The Mini-Ductor® II + (MD800P) handheld induction heating tool uses flameless heat that heats ferrous metal (containing iron), and some non-ferrous metal, parts in seconds. This allows all types of adhesives bonded to metal, bonded with thread lock compound and seized hardware to be removed and released much quicker and more safely than by traditional naked flame heating. And there’s no costly and time-consuming damage to surrounding areas.
The innovative induction heating method expands the metal and breaks down the corrosion bonds. The Mini-Ductor® II + coils come in different diameters to suit different nut sizes and the Bearing
Buddy flexible, heat resistant coil is ideal for this application.
How it’s done:
Use a preformed coil to remove the nut. Remember, the nut remains very hot
(so you may see small amounts of smoke)…
Select the correct tool and remove the nut while still hot – be careful!
The nut is removed cleanly and easily, with no damage to the surrounding area…
Wrap a fibreglass cloth around the exhaust and hold it in place.
Wrap the Bearing Buddy Coil (whilst not attached to the Mini-Ductor II +) around the cloth.
Attach the Mini-Ductor II + and heat the exhaust.
Caution is advised as the exhaust will remain very hot. The heat breaks down the corrosion.
Remove the Bearing Buddy Coil and fibreglass cloth.
Again, proceed with caution as the exhaust pipe remains hot.
Use a hammer to loosen the joint and separate the exhaust whilst still hot. Job done!
