Need help installing exhuast

Can anyone tell me how to remove those little rubber stoppers that hold the first pipe in place after the axle. This is for HKS exhaust. I keep trying but cant pull them out

Just try and use clamps, and various sticks to nudge them out. If I were you I'd keep them.

Don't cut them off. Try the wd-40 and a bar or something to pry them out.

I used dish washing soap! Much better, should only need a drop sized amount for each rubber stopper. Lube the metal hanger with the soap and it should come out with little force.
