I'm trying to remove them, with the intention of putting another set in, but I can't see how to get them out? There's no lip as per termi baffles to grip, and as the pipe has a 90 degree bend, you can't push out from the back.
I'm waiting for Mark to respond, but just wondered if anyone had done this?
thanks.
Are they held in place with a circlip?
Hi Unge,
No, they were rivetted to the outer pipe, and I've drilled these out. I'm guessing its because they're a tight fit, and there's nothing to be able to grip to either push or pull.
Hmm... dunno...

hahahaha
Still struggling with this, tried a slide-hammer with a hook into one of the slots inside, but I can't get it to move even a fraction ???
Heat?

it's probably hopeless . . . sell them to me ;D
cutting torch and hammer [evil]
Just from looking at mine, I'd wager they're held in by the same rivet that holds the tips on.
What advice did Mark give you??
I've drilled out both rivets, there's nothing holding it in there now apart from friction!
I've been able to finally remove one of the baffles, using a slide hammer, the other is refusing to budge.
Mark has suggested using a hacksaw blade to cut through the baffle, but as its T304 steel, this won't be easy.
I'm going to try taking to a garage /mechanic with the hope that using heat from a welding torch expands the outer pipe enough to pull the baffle....
It may be time for chemical warfare.
