How do I get the stock muffler off? I've removed the two nuts where the muffler mounts to the frame. I've also loosened up the two 12mm bolts- the one for the clamp and the other one close to the oil window. I can't get enough play in the muffler to get the two mounted bolts in the muffler bracket to pull out and clear the frame mount in order to slide the muffler backwards and off. Am I missing something here or do I just have to manhandle it?

[edit] Nevermind. I loosened up the header bolts and it gave me just enough play to pull the muffler off.

There's a link on the Table of Contents page for sportster muffler install but all the photobucket images are gone- unavailable. That's the exact how-to I need right now. Can anyone point me to another good sportster muffler install with pics?
