My SA had a short length of black pipe screwed into the manifold, and the mufflet set down on that and clamped to it. The pipe was so rusted to the manifold, that at first I thought it was one piece. I couldn"t budge it of course, and didn"t want to ruin the manifold with too much heat. So, I cut if off with a hack saw about 1/4" above the manifold. I took a punch and tapped the top inward to break it loose from the top threads, to let a penatrant soak into the threads. Still wouldn"t break loose. I finally took my cutting torch, and heated the pipe inside the threads just hot enough to start a cut and quickly sliced down an inch or so. While it was still orange, I got on it with a big pair of pliers and peeled it out from the inside. The torch didn"t bother the threads because they were cast iron, and the pipe is mild steel. I think the poster above might have a good idea using anti-sieze when replacing this pipe.
