That_Supra_Guy Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yo, so I've came to terms with my supra's exhaust note, and fancy it being a little louder.... The problem I have is, it's currently got a bung in it which was pretty much rammed in by the previous owner as a rush job for it's MOT. So no bolt holding it in, just wedged, tight, tight like a nun's....y'know. Anyone got any tips/know how on how to get these things out without damaging my backbox? I've already tried the old hook method, but the end of the bung hole is closed so that failed. I've tried revving it once it's heated up, still won't budge....If I can save the bung to be re-used properly(with a nut/bolt) then that would be wicked, but if there's means to write it off then I'm not too fussed. Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I had a similar issue, try getting a spanner in there then open it up so it is wedged against the bung & pull hard!! Maybe put some Vaseline in there to lube it a little? Not sure if you could use WD40 near a hot exhaust!! Though something to create a slip, then keep tugging... Hard! Good luck!!

Already tried the wd40, fortunately there were no flames! I'll give the spanner a shot tomorrow, failing that I think may have a bearing race puller at work that may well do the trick.

Nic Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Not bolted in i assume? I used an extendable wheel brace stuck it up there, hooked the end over the end of the bung and used a hammer motion to pull it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris0132 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 You not got a slide hammer you could borrow, that could get it out with one of its special ends they come with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I managed to slide a pallet knife around my old Kakimoto exhaust bung and get some wd40 sprayed around the side and slowly got the bung moving a bit until I was able to drag it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Plus gas and a good bang with a hammer ftw. It will just the be the carbon build up keeping it in, unless the stainless steel has picked up and then you are fubar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
