Exhaust mounting rubbers

After spending most of a blisteringly hot afternoon under the 90
replacing the middle exhaust section, the most frustrating part was
replacing the rubber hangers. So I know for next time, are there any
wise tips from the group for getting the rubbers over those barbed hooks
without losing most of ones skin?

Regards,

Dave.

Flatten out the ends & then bend back over once the rubber is on!

That's cheating! Washing up liquid usually works for me. Hands end up soft
as your face, according to the advert. In my case it's true, but you
haven't seen my face.

I know, generally, the sort of thing you mean.

1: Gardening gloves

2: Push with a deep socket, maybe a plug spanner, that goes around the
hook.
