I just finished installing a near-new volvo exhaust from the boneyard. The most frustrating aspect (other than the requisite metal bending and cursing) was getting the rubber hangers in. My solution after a little soul searching was to place the hangers in a bowl, pour boiling water (from an electric kettle) over them, allow them to sit for 10 minutes, and the put a dab of dish soap into the holes that slide over the metal hangers. It made a huge difference. I thought I would share in case it helped anyone. Do you have any tricks for getting them on?
