I have removed the tabs on some limiter caps by carefully cutting them off with an X-Acto knife with a fine pointed blade

361...

went at it again
and it still doesn't want to come out
threads are stripped on the cap

Use any size wood screw that fits tightly in there, tight threads are best, and pull it out. You'll probably need a new cap after but they're cheap.

You get your muffler back Forestryworks?

On my 346xp I noticed there's just enough space to get a dremel in there to cut off the limiter part of the cap without removing it. Has anyone done this yet?

What he said.

I just used a drywall screw. That'll hold em pretty good. Just make sure to line up the tab with the slot so you dont totally damage it. I didnt have to buy new ones when I did it.

There is enough room on the 346 but I use an Exacto knife - - Worked great! Like you I didn't have to remove the caps.

+1 on Dremel. I use a little black oxide bit that looks like an end mill and grind the tabs off. You don't have to mess with the threads or nuthin!
