I'm polishing my exhausts. What's the minimal amount of removal I need to do to get the rear exhaust off?

Did you remove the rear wheel? I think its theoretically possible to get it off with the wheel on but difficult.
I recall that it was very difficult to release the muffler from the pipes on my bike - stuck on with corrosion. I'm so grateful for my Fuel can - undo two pipe clamps and a single nut and its off in a minute.Comment

Header pipe! ... You must be clear ... I also thought you were asking about the muffler can.
I can tell you it a pain to do it. A small narrow wobbly extension is okay after breaking the nut loose with open/box end wrenches. I forget ... either 10mm or 12mm socket/wrenches. I had to flip the wrenches over and over to get a 1/4 turn on the nut (my tools are Craftsman).

The rear header is already disconnected but no matter how I try to get it out, it won't come out.I rotate the flange so it doesn't hit anything and it still won't come out. I try it with the flange below the studs and it won't angle out. I try to angle it when it's seated and it won't come out. I try to angle it out when the flange is above where it usually is and the header won't come out.Hawk with many differently shaped fuel tanks.Comment

If stock, then its like BK94si mentioned ... pull and twist both pipe and flange.Bi-Coastal U.S.A.: Los Angeles, CA and Long Island, NYComment
