My muffler has separated from my exhaust pipe, but all the parts appear fine so I only need undo the clamp and reinsert the muffler. The problem is the nuts are rusted to the bolts on the clamp. The clamp I have to remove is like two "C"'s put together. It is on Bentley 26.2 between the straight pipe and the muffler. I bought a new clamp to replace the rusted one actually I bought three because I was not sure of the size. They are slightly different than the one that is on there now, as they only connect on one side (more like a single "C". The part numbers are: 45.5mm 191 253 143 P 49.5mm 165 253 143 54.5mm 191 253 143 N
