Default 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.
