Help with installing BCT Baffles!
Hi everyone I am back once again bothering with questions!
I am about to change the baffle on my Vance and Hines Big shot long but am having some problems... I cannot figure out how to remove the baffles that came with the pipe. Can anyone shed some light?!?!?!

It can be a bear. I saw on another thread in here somewhere where someone suggested after removing the set screw on the outside, start it from the inside. Then I hooked clothes hanger wire around the screw, attached the other end of the wire to a dent puller, (the sliding hammer type used to pull dents from sheet metal)...several good hits later....it finally came out...good luck! ps...love the baffles!

Yea that was me...
Remove screw from outside and put it threw a pc of metal/angle iron and screw to the inside of pipe/baffle. Put vice grips on angle iron and tap out with hammer. It is how I did it and took only a few whacks to get it done. Use WD-40 first and let soak.

I have Big Shot Longs on my Heritage... and I too installed BCT's. I didn't have a lot of trouble getting them out though. I just sprayed a LOT of PB Blast in between the baffle and the pipe, and let it soak for about an hour. Went to lunch, came back... and out she came! You will love the sound of those BCT's! Good luck!
