Title: Help with muffler removal
Post by rocknrob on 01/02/05 at 18:41:54

Removing my exhaust system and got it physically off the bike and have taken every bolt and screw out but the muffler still not wanting to come off. The header pipe is turning but I cant get it pulled out of the muffler. What am I doing wrong?!?!?!? :-/

Here is what I do. I leave header pipe attacthed. However since it i off. I completly loosen the clamp that holds muffler to header pipe. Spray lots of wd 40 into connection. I then attempt to twist muffler. In your case it might be easier to twist header(one or the other must be tightly secured). If it doesn't begin to twist free a little I then put something against the muffler at connection with header and with a hammer knock it away from header until it moves some. Another thing to try is put something under the muffler ends where the clamp is and pry up to loosen a little. Use lots of wd 40.
