Bit of wd 40, then a stilsen will do the trick and if they are really stuck, use and angel grinder and have to get a new muffler
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

Stilsen, like a monkey wrench, those big ones you see the stero typical plumber carrying around. Just give it a little time to work, thry them when
they are hot to.

Too many butchers!!
Using an angle grinder cut along the bottom of the muffler where the tail pipes slide in,prise open the cut and squirt in some WD type of stuff!Using
multis or vicegrips,twist the tail pipes.It your 're careful,you'll be able to re-use the existing muffler.Have fun!

Be careful with the early 36 hp mufflers. They are getting real hard to find now and exy when you do. Bettter to twist the old tail pipes off even if
they break then carefully dig the bits that are left in out. Possible to run a hack saw blade down inside the bit of the tail pipe thats left in there
to release it.
