Use a rubber strap wrench. Twist it back and forth gently till it comes loose. Warm the motor up first for about 30 seconds. Should come off pretty easily. Place the strap about 4 inches back from the front of muffler.

Also a little WD-40 or Liquid Wrench helps in taking it apart and going back together.
