Bending exhaust hanger for rear subframe bushing replacement

[white46]

Recently, I've replaced rear subframe bushing and of course had to bend exhaust hanger.

Heat up the hanger with MAP-Pro Torch (yellow can), but couldn't get firm grip with plier.

So I used instead, 14mm 1/2in deep socket with extension bar.
Insert socket to the hanger, now with enough leverage, bent easily.

^^I did the same, socket over a long extension and then slipped a pipe over it to bend - no heat needed

Nice! But hope I don't have to do this job again..
