CL9 Exhaust tips removal

[Paul S]

Just bought some nice new exhaust tips to go on car, only thing is the standard ones are rusted solid on, well the clamping bolt is anyway, there is no shape left on the head where its rusted, nothing will stay on it.
The only thing I haven't tried is mole grips but not sure it would turn anyway, probably snap.

Just wondered what anyone else done to get them off, must be a common problem on these.

Cheers.
