Exhaust pipe on my Dakota pickup rusted off where it had been welded together. I need a connector that is 2 1/4 to 2 3/8 to repair it. Only ones I can find are 2 1/4 to 2 1/2. So I bought a exhaust tube expander at Farm & Fleet and a piece of 2 1/4 in exhaust pipe. I put it in the pipe vise and tightened it up until it won't move with a impact wrench and it barely moved it at all. I have used a different type of expander before and got along alright. Is this tool junk or am I going about it all wrong? It's supposed to work from 1 1/2 to 2 7/8 pipe. When you tighten it up, the small end expands and the large end doesn't hardly move. If I heat the pipe first, it will probably melt the o-rings that hold it together before it does any thing else. I wondered about cutting slots in the pipe, but it wouldn't be round. Any suggestions, or do I need to get a better tool? Chris

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
