Moving the down pipe

I know it is a dumb question. How do I move the down pipe? Elbow grease?

Thanks, Tony

Loosen up the clamp at the bellhousing and shove. Depending on how the system is attached further back you might have to loosen other things as well.

Yep that is what I had to do. I guess I should've looked before asking.

I crawled under there and loosened at the bell housing, and then I saw your advice was the same.

I have got everything hooked up except the oil tube that goes to the exhaust housing, but the fittings are different.

Thanks Guys, and have a good weekend.
