Default Tips on Removing Baffles (Repacking)

My Cobra Race Pro slip-ons are starting to sound a little ratty.
I think it might be time to repack them.
I've never removed baffles before so any tips on getting them out would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anti-seize the muffler pipe connection for easier removal next time.

It appears he will be removing the 7 screws that hold the tip to the muffler body
Not pulling the slip- ons off the exhaust pipes

I've had pretty good luck with this rod that I've bent, a pair of Vise-Grips, and a good sized ball peen hammer.
Sometimes I've had to take the slip-on off and drop the outlet end onto a 2"x6" board after spraying some PB Blaster, or something else, into the inlet end and letting it soak for a spell.
Of course, take the tip off before either one of these techniques, lol........
