you can't get the bolt off? or you can't pull out the silencer?

if it's the bolt, wd-40 should be okay. If you're having a hard time gettin the actual silencer off, you can use peg board hooks from home depot.



the 2nd one from the left. buy 2 of those and use the hooked ends to tug on the silencer
from the inside

if it is the silencer, here is what you do. You get a pair of vice grips and clamp them onto the tube part of the silencer. The you get a hammer. There is a flat part on the vice grips that you can hit. So hit that and make sure you are going away from the muffler when you are hitting or you will hit it further into the muffler.
