Hey robert did you ever get your "Clean-out" plugs removed? I noticed mine (as most) barely move, (SQUEAK) and thats it. As the list a few yrs ago said, I have left them alone rather then SNAP them. I thought about using the Air Impact, and set the pressure very low, so it just, rrr-tap rrrr-tap rrr-tap taps, instead of RRR!!!! SNAP!!!!. I tried heat and the old back and forth. (the same 1/16 of an inch movement

I got them out with lots of torque and replaced them with stainless ones a bi shorter to stop the rattle. Robert Wichert P.Eng.

A couple of heat cycles and soakings with the Kroil and then use of a hand impact and mid size hammer should loosen or break the bolts. If they break you can then try to drill them out or grind off the nuts and weld new nuts to the header pipe. Kroil is available from KANO Laboratory in Kentucky or maybe a local machine supply shop or gunsmith.

My 09' wasn't a year and half old when I tried to remove the clean out plugs. The 1st came out okay enough. The second attempted began to cross-thread on the way out from internal corrosion. I stopped there with an "I guess I won't be doing this again." I'd done the tweety-ectomy/sport bike muffler tip add-on mod. So, I suppose the whole thing flowed a little better and didn't get carboned-up. -eddie
