I must have watched a 1000 videos on this
from what i can tell, the standard process is to drop the muffler pipe to get to the water pipe olive
there are signs of a seal/o-ring at the top as you can see, but the pipe is not budging from the top
i have tried taking a propane torch to the top section to expand it, but worried i'm going to wrap and buckle the pipe
Cant get the muffler pipe off

Remove the drive shaft tube from the crankcase first, then you'll have the bottom end of the exhaust tube loose, now wiggle it about!
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
