Not hard - there is a bolt on the bottom take that out and depending on how long they been on might be a little tough. Mine where new so came out very easy, I have read that some have had a little trouble but there is a bar on the end of them or some say take a pole and tap it out thru the end. Once out remove the old and split the bag of the new packing in 1/2 lay it out and roll the baffle then take masking tap and rap the ends and a few around the middle just so you can get it back in.

Here is mine after a little over 10,000 miles, this was the first time I pulled them off after installing them when bike was new....No big deal really... I bought Rush knowing I would have to repack baffles (at least once a year) When I repacked them this spring I took some advise from a old friend who has been riding probably longer then ive been alive. I have checked them a few times this summer and havent noticed any significant reduction of packing.

I went to auto parts store bought 2 bags of fiberglass Matt and some masking tape. Used 1 bag for each pipe. Easy job and the Matt will last a lot longer than the packing. Ace hardware has the Matt also.

Will losing the packing effect your backpressure? Or is it just for sound? When I got my stuff from Jamie I wanted LOUD. He tested my set up and suggested that I do not go any bigger than 2.25" baffles. He said after that performance really drops.
