Advice needed on how to remove the muffler

good advice or ;high explosives are known to work,sledgehammer, cutting torch ,4" angle grinder will lop it right off! hack saw or cold chisel if your doc suggested xrcize. pictures always help those of us who don't own one of that series. But ya could look 4 fasteners that hold it on(-;

 

[Wood Doctor]

Spray on a little liquid wrench and wait a minute. Then use a T-27 Torx wrench. That should do it.

remove the 2 "covers " on the muffler and then use a t-27

Pry out the #3 caps with a small screwdriver, then remove the muffler screws with a T-27 torx.

Thanks for all the quick replies . So those odd looking things #3 on the parts illustration above are "plugs" or "covers " . I will try HarleyT's suggestion . That's the part I'm having trouble with

I was about to ask if the "club" was on any government watch list. I guess I'll just have to pester you for parts numbers. Hopefully I won't screw up many more times and bust things up
