Mike, I did this job last year on my C&C33ii (2GM20F) and, as others have suggested, take off the 4 bolts from the manifold. If you try to separate the mixing elbow from the adjoining piece in place, you are liable to break something and I don’t think you will be able to get enough leverage anyway. Take the two pieces to a large vise and you should be able to get them apart with a big monkey wrench. Use high temp sealer like permatex hi-temp on the threads. You should also replace the gasket on the manifold; it’s only a few bucks. As for the exhaust hose, it came off easily enough, but I found the inner liner was collapsed so I replaced it as well. Best of luck.
