Yes remove each slipon and spray penetrating oil between the baffle and the pipe. Next place a 2x4 on the garage floor and tap the pipe in a downward motion and gravity will make the baffle drop out one tap at a time. If you put it back together coat the outside of the baffle with anti-sieze lubricant the slide it back in.

I've used a cut down 2x4 on the inlet side smaller then the inlet, larger then the baffle and banged the muffler down on the board against the floor to push baffles out before. Works pretty well on stubborn baffles, make sure when it breaks loose not to bang the muffler into the ground.

there seems to be a lot of variations in product for the same part number. my SE slip on's are often refered to a simple process ......remove 3 screws....flip and tap...and out they come....NOT....mike have rivits and I have to use the circle bit cut out method which requires welding to put back in.

When I say tap it, I mean you going to hold the pipe with both hands and with one motion slam the pipe onto the 2x4 sitting on the floor just enough to cause a downward motion to get the rust holding the baffle to release its hold. Dont miss the 2x4 or your going to put a dent on the slash cut edge. Am I making any sense and can you visualize what Im suggesting?
