I've heck of a time to remove my silencer (it's still on, but I am going to WD40 tomorrow), on some of the old posting people mention there is a tool from Apexi which help to remove the silencer, anyone has it? Does it make the job easier? How much is it and where can I order it? Would be great if someone has a picture of the actual tool (as I can't find on http://www.apexi-usa.com) TIA

 

needle-nose pliers works wonders

stick it in closed...then open up and pull out

 

i just used a allen wrench and 10mm cresent wrench to remove the nut and bolt, then i just pulled the silencer out.

 

everytime I found the silencer getting hard to pull out.......I loose the nuts and bolt which hold it, back to the driver seat, start the engine, give a few rev to 8000rpm....you will see it come out few inches by itself. (work nicely)

 

You don't really need it but any apexi dealer should be able to get it for you. Although I have not seen it advertised for a very long time so it could be possible that it is discontinued.

I've always used pliers as well. screw paying for the tool

 

I just put my hands in there and pull it out

 

My buddy bought a piece of metal from home depot ($1.25) and bent the end like a "U" in a vice, works great.

 

Allen wrench works for me.

 

screw playing with it... i weld a tab onto my silencer, so i can grab it and pull it out. very simple. who cares what the tab looks like, as the silencer looks retarded anyway....

 

This is probably the cheapest route.
