    I am trying to remove the mufflers from my 750 seca, and they seem to be a bit stuck. I'm assuming they're rusted on. Any help?

    Some penatrating oil helps and lots of wiggling and twisting. A rubber mallet helps to , just don't hit it too hard and put dents in the muffler. Of cours you did remove the clamps right?

    I removed the 2 screws for each side. I'll try the mallet, and the oil thanks ;)

    Greased Nails.

    Grind both sides of some framing nails to be elongated wedges.
    Hammer them into the end of the Silencer, ... well greased.
    Be sure to get them between the Muffler Collar and Donut Sleeve.
    Expand the Muffler Collar until is slides off the Donut.
    Cut the Donut off the Pipe with a Bias incision through it.
    Chisel the Donut off after slicing through it.
