I removed the stock Freewheeler mufflers today and found it to be over all a pretty easy task. The only issue is the back muffler bracket bolts are a little tedious to get to. They can be got to somewhat easy with a long slightly angled head 1/2" wrench (you just have to take your time). Pulling the Trike on ramps is a must for the room needed to work.
The task of re-installing those rear bracket bolts will now be a lot easier let me explain why. The reason for that is I flipped the brackets and rubber insert the bracket bars slide through (see pic's). Now the bolt head can be reached a lot easier this way. With the brackets flipped you don't have to fight the upward angle or lip of the bracket to get to the bolt head with your wrench. The wrench now fits on a lot easier to the bolt head and allows the turning to go much easier. (Note) It still will be a slow go tightening the bolt due to the limited room getting to that rear bracket bolt. The good thing is now the head of the bolt will not be partly blocked by the bracket lip. I have done this on other Harleys and the rear muffler bracket works either way just fine.
I thought I would pass this on to others to save all some pains when re-installing new mufflers on the Freewheeler Trike.
Ride Safe All,
