89sheebeater Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Hey guys I removed the 6 8mm bolts holding My fmf power core silencers together. Should they just pull apart or do they need a little persuasion. I want to talk then part and re pack them and polish the body's. And try to polish the rest of the pipes cause there pretty rusted. Thanks for any help in advance Quote
Larry's Shee Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Carboned up. Try tapping in with rubber mallet, might break free. Maybe soak joint with some kind of solvent to disolve carbon. SeaFoam is only thing I know of. Maybe little heat Quote
89sheebeater Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Posted April 8, 2015 Ok that's what I was thinking. Maybe some carbon/corosion between the aluminum and steel Quote
vrx46 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Rubber mallet. Take the end caps off by drilling them unless they are the oldschool style end caps and have screws. I just did a set the other day. Gonna powdercoat them tho Quote
Zillaguy Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 My old FMF'S had to have the riv-nuts removed to get the end caps off. . Put the bolts back in a few threads, and tap them with a hammer.. the nut should unseat from the silencer. . Get all of them out, and the silencer should come apart. Quote
98_sheester Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 Mine are similar im sure but i took a small pair of vise vrips pulled the end cap off then i put them on the silencer and with mallet tapped the bolt hange and gave a pull and wiggle and they came right off Quote
