I've tried air pressure , water pressure, fish tapes etc. I can't get this rat to budge out of a trackside pipe i just bought. Im gonna marinade him over night in water maybe it will soften.
Lime? Drain cleaner? Commercial air compressor to make a rat cannon. I'm open for suggestions. Dont want to cut the pipe .
Just a reminder tape the pipes closed when in storage

Are you sure its a rodent. The reason I ask is, we bought a pipe that smelled like a dead mouse. It turned out to be a mouse nest. I got lucky and it came out the tail pipe when I started the bike. What a mess it must of been half full of crap.

I got it out 140 lbs of air pressure. what I thought was a rat turned out to be a bunch of mouse hair stuck to a ball of wet nest leftovers.. I was impressed how far it flew though.

Glad you got it out. You're right, plug everything not in use.
