How do you remove rubber exhaust hangers?

Question

I have a 98 CRV, and I'm trying to get the rubber exhaust isolators off from the front and back of the exhaust. What is the best way to get these off? Should I be trying to pop them off from the top or "unhook" them from the bottom?

Answer 1

Just pull on them or pry them off with a screwdriver or small prybar.  They normally come right off.  

Answer 2

spray on crc or water dispersent and lever them of with a s***w driver

check tech talk pages.

Answer 3

if you are trying to replace them, both.  whichever one is smooth should come off first, then the other one.

Answer 4

spray the rubber with some type of soapy solution, apply a little bit of force, it should pop right out

Answer 5

generous use of spray lube and a four foot pry bar, I prefer to unhook them from the exhaust and leave them hooked to the body because once they are on the floor you don't have any leverage for the pry bar
