I ended up on this video accidentally from the autoplay, I wasn't seeking out info on expanders but I watched the video anyway just cuz you're entertaining to watch! the banjo music gave me a chuckle too, love it
I used one like this that was a loaner from a store. Two tips from my experience, you definitely want to use a well mounted vice (or two) or something, standing on it probably won't do, lol. Also, set your workpiece in a warm place for a bit, before you start, if it's cold. Good luck out there!
I bought one of those years ago from Harbor Freight and it was a disaster. The threads stripped out before it even expanded the pipe. I even lubed the threads with Moly grease. Good to see the Sears model worked good.
It did the job ok , i wonder if there is a better way , i`m thinking like some sort of expander fitting to work with a porta power for home use ??? i have seen the fancy hydraulic ones in exhaust shops that work in seconds with zero effort , very nice , but probably out of reach for most of us average joes .
I gotta raptor 660 and I’m trying to make a fz09 yoshimura exhaust fit on it u think I could do this and it would work well and not fall of while riding? Or do u suggestion to cut the exhaust and tig weld it back?
