Default Replacing exhaust hanger

My exhaust hanger snapped in two, and I don't think the piece on the jeep or the pipe itself is going to come off very easily, if ever or at all. Any ideas aside from string or duct tape?

Kragen - or any auto parts store have a replacement (generic) and yes its VERY stuck on there mine i ended up cutting off a piece to get it back on than i rapped it with a metal wrapping and bolted it on, depends on which hanger though mine was the back one..

How many hangers are there? The one that broke is the one at the very back.

I think on mine there are 2 or 3 not all the same kind of hangers but they all support something, i swapped out my exhaust of a diff one and it only had 2 hangers.. its up to the welder really.. and exhaust shop will usually only charge like 25 or 30 bucks to weld your piece back on if you want to go that way.

Think i paid $6 for a new hanger at AutoZone recently.

Did the piece thats welded to tailpipe break off or the hanger itself?
