Exhausts and Engine » Remus hexacone baffle, how to remove?

Hello members,

Need your help,
I'm having some issues to remove the baffle of my exhaust remus hexacone,
I managed to get rid of welded screw.
But from then on I'm stucked
Looks like the baffle is still welded on two places,
(see pictures)
Can anyone help me to get through the last steps?
TX in advance

The marked red circle, makes me think that's
the second layer, am I right...

If you have a Dremel tool and a cut off wheel, you should be able to carefully work through the welded (brazed?) areas. Then remove the insert and clean up the remainder, on the edges, with a small file and sandpaper.

hi take it off and try drifting it out from other side with a long extension bar ?

You should only have to remove the retaining screw, which you have already done, then use pliers or channel-locks or similar to firmly grab the circular outlet, then firmly wiggle and pull and the baffle should come out. Do not grab the outer hexagonal ring. There are two hexagonal rings, inner one is part of the baffle, and the outer is part of the muffler. The fit is very tight, and I was not able to grab just the inner part, even with needle nose pliers. Some online advice said that after you remove the retaining screw to go on a short 5-10 minute ride to warm things up before attempting to remove the baffle. I did this when I removed mine, and when I put my channel locks on the circular outlet, the baffle came out easily. Best of luck.

I just looked more closely at your pictures and we may have different models of the Hexacone. I'll try to look when I get home, but I think my retaining screw is at the roughly 7 o'clock position. Check that the model you have has a remove-able baffle.

Problem solved

Euro 4 and 5 have to have a non removable baffle so it looks like the manufacturers are adding extra tack weld to pay lip service to the regs. My SC project had an extra tack weld 'retaining' the baffle that needed gently grinding through. Not drifting out with a big hammer.......!!!!
And I'm a marine engineer.................
