The nuts holding the muffler/silencer onto the heat exchanger don't look like they're going to be willing to come undone any time soon - looking at diagram 1.55, it seems part 72 is just a short piece of M8 studding, albeit with a non-threaded portion in the middle. Can I just cut the nuts off and replace with normal studding or bolts (if I can get them in)?
I'm pretty sure the answer will be "yes" but thought I'd check!
Muffler removal - can I just cut the bolts?

Not sure how I'm going to cut them - not a lot of clearance up there! Might have to see if I can wangle a spanner in there.
On closer inspection, the tailpipe was completely rotten so I've cut it off. The stub (about 4") that is left is in OK condition and there are a couple of small holes in the muffler/silencer which I'll try patching...
...now where's the JB Weld?
