    Taking out exhaust to replace and make some repairs

    Center stand has 1 12mm bolt holding in shaft

    shaft gets pulled from left side pulling left?

    their is a washer on right side end of shaft

    How is the washer dealt with.

    shaft is seized up so currently soaking in blaster.

    Thanks in advance

    Not sure I can add anything other than I replaced my exhaust system and collector box a few years ago and I did it with the centre stand on.

    It was a bit of a fiddle, but not impossible, so if you can't get the bolt out, that may be an option.

    Book says you unbolt fastener from left, then pull out bolt from left.
    Then says to watch for washer at right side of center stand bolt.

    Did all the above but washer is holding in,
    Seems like a missing something logical there.

    I think I'll just cut it out but with parts getting rarer I'm trying to not damage pipe too much.

    Thanks

    My unit has all been welded together awhile ago.
    It seems like it wants to come out but locks up on stand.

    Thanks
