i was trying to remove and clean the baffles on the 73 H1D i am abusing in my garrage.
and two came out with not much drama but the third is resisting all my attempts.
it comes ot about 3 inches and seems to get hung up on something at will revolve but no more out.
do i need a slide hammer doodad or am i missing something.
cheers mark

That's about how far it would come out before the packing material (if it has any) would catch the end of the muffler housing.
Otherwise, push/pull, in/out, while twisting.

If it's real thick stuff hard as a brick I've known gum cutter sprayed in the end while working will get them loose. Hose it down a bit all over the end then try working it. :thumbup: Some auto stores list it as 2+2. It's not on the shelf, you have to ask for it. Apparently bad things are made out of it. :crazy:
