I have a 1800 type 4 engine fitted to my 72 bus.
This originally had the EGR system installed.
I am now running CB Performance twin solexes.
This does away with all the EGR stuff and has had the outlet blanked off.
There is a small box attached to the heat exchanger and this is corroded and leaking.
How do I remove this completely as the heat exchanger is solid.

Some pictures would help.

Thanks
SC

Remove the box (filter), saw flange off of pipe on filter, reinstall flange with a small scrap of sheet metal sandwiched between the joint.

Alternately manhandle filter until it breaks off the pipe and squish the end of the pipe flat with vise grips.
