Cobra swept baffle removal

193 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Deviate
Anyone have some advice getting the baffles out of the cobra swept pipes? I've removed the two Alan bolts but I haven't been able to successfully pull/ hammer the baffles out. I've been spraying lubricant up to try to loosen whatever is stuck and it's not working out so far

Ohhh, interesting question. I have no idea if that's possible, but I'll follow along.

I know it's possible cause I've seen videos of others doing it but mine just seem way more stuck than anyone else's. I'll keep working at it though and update the thread if I get it

Well, doesn't seem to be any pressure washer or loocking bolt into; these are the usual methods, but seem that, inner black round gasket?, is blocked by another metallic one that looks somewhat bent. a right angle nose pliers is useful to insert it into the holes and try to move it.
Once you remove the screw that holds the original baffles in place. It's about spraying PB Blaster...a lot...letting it sit some because there is some build up in there...and having something that can hook into a hole on the baffle (a carjack pipe...I had to clamp some vice grips on it and hammer against it) and stick out far enough with an end you can hammer on. It seems destructive but eventually it will come out. There is a video in this thread: Removing cobra swept baffles?
