What size for the mikalor clamps?
They are W4 63-68mm. (W4 being the width). The bolts are stainless so are likely to strip if tightened too enthusiastically. The factory use Holts exhaust sealant on those joints which guarantees they don't turn but makes disassembly more difficult.

They just slid off after undoing clamps and supports, which did surprise me as was expecting a fight.

I gave my 2012 (but new chassis in 2014) car a good jollop of WD40 on the joint the night before and the pipe joint came apart easily.

Tim +1 On using penetrating oil on the joint for a day or two before removal. I was dreading taking mine apart but the joints just slipped apart no problem once the clamps were loosened.
