Exhaust 'y-pipe' removal

[Daniel M Wing <imp1983@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

(The continuing boring saga of my oil pump/bearing job.)

Well, I finally got all four exhaust bolts out, (with out breaking any),
and one flange is loose.

Next question.  How are you supposed to get the exhaust pipes
off of the headers?  Hit them with a sledge hammer?  I don't
want to wreck the catalytic converters.  It looks like the flanges
must just tighten up the cupped ends of the pipes.  

Should the y-pipe just pop off?

Thanx for any suggestions.
