Removing Baffle

Hey folks, got an RSR exhaust today and it has the baffle in it. I've undone the nut etc but can't pull the damn thing out. Is there a knack to it? I don't want to damage it.

Cheers

No idea yet buddy but i'll tell you, it looks the bloody part

Not got anything i can grab onto unfortunately.

Best reply yet hehehehehe. If all else fails i'm guessing that will be my last hope.

haha, the old stuck RSR baffle never fails to cause problems

Is this an exhuast where the baffles not been out before? Everyone thats had one of these has had trouble getting it out the first time, they are VERY firmly wedged in.

The only real way of doing it is to remove the back box, push a large block of wood down it from the other end and bash it out with a mallet. Most have had to then grind the edges of the baffle down a little to get it to go back in easily again.

Oh goody, no idea if its been out before as i bought it from knightrider.

I'm thinking about pliars that i could use in reverse to grip the small bore. If all else fails though i'll just take it to bits. Good job it aint on the car i guess.

Good luck mate homers idea with the bit of wood sounds a good call,the pliers could damage it

If it's never been out before then the pliers will not work, it need a LOT of force to remove. However if it's from Stuart's car it has definetly been removed, so you might be okay. You won't damage it with pliers, the baffle is extremely stong on the RSR.

I got mine out with long pice of metal with hook on the end....pass it through the middel and hook it round the back edge of the baffel in the box and pull it out easy.

Thats how i did mine in the end and have now grinded it down a bit so its now so much easier

I test fitted mine before installing all the way and realised it was a bit small so ground it down slightly. Obviously not enough as the first time it still stuck, but I managed to pull it out by jamming a big hammer handle into it and wiggling it out...
