MKII Muffler Removal ?

[GolfVenture]

It can't be as simple as removing a clamp and a bolt to the frame can it???

 

Any real challenges in removing the mufflers off an MKII.

 

Also for installing them.

Yes, Brian it is that simple; loosen the clamp and remove the bolt that fastens the muffler to the frame. Depending on the orientation of the clamp, the clamp bolt may be difficult to get a wrench onto fully. Once the clamp is loosened and the frame mounting bolt removed, vigorous pulling, twisting and wiggling will finally pull the muffler from the collector. The thick tubular muffler to collector gasket may come off with the muffler or it may remain on the collector stub.

I hope you noticed the operative word: vigorous,,, for sometimes that is an understatement.
