How to Remove Harley-Davidson Exhaust Mufflers
- 1). Park your Harley on a hard, level surface such as your garage or driveway. Rest the motorcycle on the kickstand. Let the engine cool completely.
- 2). Remove the motorcycle's main fuse to avoid accidental start up of the motorcycle. Refer to the owner's manual to properly remove the fuse.
- 3). Remove the muffler clamp by unscrewing the muffler clamp bolt, using the socket wrench and a 15-mm socket. The muffler clamp is located between the muffler and the exhaust pipe.
- 4). Spray WD40 in the junction between the muffler and the exhaust pipe.
- 5). Remove the muffler's bolts and lock washers using the socket wrench. The bolts hold the sliding bracket connected to the rubber mount of the muffler.
- 6). Remove the rubber mount that secures the muffler to the sliding bracket, using the socket wrench.
- 7). Hold the muffler at the end and slowly wiggle it off the exhaust pipe.
