Re: [ST] Exhaust removal

[Dan Wallander <newsgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marc,

I've taken the header off the ST several times.  It is possible to get 
it off and on with the radiator loosened, but it is much easier to do 
with the radiator off.

An advantage to taking the radiator off is that you won't do inadvertent 
damage to the radiator, they are pretty easy to crack at the hose 
locations.  Another advantage is it forces you to renew the anti-freeze.

I wasn't able to use a torque wrench with the radiator in place, even 
loosened, with the radiator off and a deep socket, torquing is easy.
