Hi All, My husband just bought a vx and it needs a new starter. I downloaded a manual online and started the process of pulling the starter and one of the steps is to pull out the front exhaust pipe to get it out of the way to remove the old starter. I am getting VERY frustrated trying to get the exhaust pipe pulled out. Is there a trick to is or to I need to just muscle is more. I don't want to be too rough and have to replace something else too....lol!! Wanna get it running and on the road for him quick. Thanks a million all!!!
