Do you need a special tool to put the gasket in the exhaust, just watched a video on YouTube and he had to open the end of the exhaust to get it in, or can you just hammer it in ? Cheers Vespa gts300 2011

you can use a correctly sized socket to push it in, but you may need to expand the opening a bit. if you're lacking for the exhaust tool, you can use pliers to bend the tabs up.

anyway, the gasket is surprisingly fragile and would crumble up if you hit with pretty much anything.

make sure that it's installed deep enough to cover the gaps/slits on the pipe connection and the clamp is tight.

Cheers pal , will give it a go 👍

I don't know what you have there to buy cheap Chinese tools. Here we go to Harbor Freight. I ruined one graphite gasket before I bought the correct tool. At the time, the expander was $2 less than the gasket cost. I ordered another gasket, and bought the tool. Just like Robot shows from that point forward.
