I set to work removing the old ones undid the grub screw thing, gave them a good knock all round where i could reach then tried to knock them off putting an old screwdriver on the lip and whacking the screwdriver with a lump hammer ..... No joy![Icon Hyper](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_hyper.gif)
Tried put penetrating oild down between the pipe and the old chrome tips left it a day, gave it another whack still no joy![Icon No](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_no.gif)
Any suggestions, I thought of heat but the bumper is near ...
Any tips recommended

I know space is tight, but, if you can get a G clamp and tighten to break the seal, then turn x degrees and tighten again. Repeat until loose? I tried to get the dp off the underfloor cat while both were off the car. I had to stand on them at the union, flip it over and stand on it again. Eventually after much repetition they came apart.

Im not over all happy with the quality of the tips but they are better than what was on, also the fitting idea was ugly in my ideas it was 3 U brackets which were tightened on to the exhaust by the bolt, I dumped the the U's and just used the bolts, I still believe the bolts supplied ate too long. I will be changing them, also I will look out for a better quality tip.
I am doing another back-end upgrade next week(I'm not the first to do it but I'll post some pics anyway)
Just preiwing the post, my rear number plate also needs straightening
