MG MGA - Exhaust donught

What is the easy way to remove the donught at the joint between the manifold and the long section of the exhaust. After 20 yeasrs it doesn't seal very well, and I have a new one to replace it, only thing is I can't get the old one off!

I would grab my trusty DREMEL grinder and with the long extention, just cut grooves into the donut. Ideal would be that you could actually get a section removed. After this, a flat screwdriver should be able to chip loose the remaining pieces. Of course, you understand all of this has to be done while lying on your back and underneath the car. It should not be too difficult. Gordon

Solved. I dropped the pipe and took a small chisel to the doughnut.
