Hi all,

I got some slip ons that I'd like to put on my FLSTFI. Trouble is, I can't get the stock mufflers to budge. Any hints? I'm lost...

Thanks,

Joe

they may have to be heated up, then try moving them around from the end of the tailpipe...if that doesn't work try a sledge hammer.

I just removed mine.

I used a long block of oak and put it against the bracket that held the muffler support (?) and a small sledge to wiggle mine off.

I used an oil filter wrench to grip the mufflers then I was able to twist them back and forth while slowly wiggling them free.

A small sledge and a chisel got mine off!
Just don't go trying to sell the afterwards!
Watch you don't crack the rest of your pipework though!!!

I sprayed the "good ole" liquid wrench on the joints, let it set for a half an hour. After unbolting the rear bolts, then wiggled them around for 5 minutes and eased them off by tapping with a rubber mallot and wiggling. The bike (Deuce) only had 200 miles on it at the time. Don't know if it gets harder as they coke-up.

Let us know what you had to go thru for yours.
