hi guys, I want to change the brass o ring in the exhaust outlet in the cylinder, it seems flater than the new oem ring I have besides me, and seems very stuck, I don't want to go hulk on the thing, so do you seasoned kdx guys have any tips for removal? thanks

The copper C R U S H gasket??

The one that when new is somewhat thick, but gets crushed during installation?

A hook tool can be used to remove the old one. Take a picture of the new one. It will never be the same after use.

hehe good one Jason, I will try to remember its correct name from now on ! ok will look after hook tool , you Americans up already? its 1320 o'clock here in Norway now

I also use a hook type tool.

yes if any of you could show a pic off the tools you use to remove it would be awesome

thanks!

There should be some similar brand in Norway.

yeah sure but if not I can buy it from eBay

In a pinch take a junk fork and snap off all but one prong then bend the tip over to make a pick.

thanks mach, Thats clever too

Welcome to kdxrider.net, MachGyver.

thanks guys, I have a little problem, now that the new copper crush ring is in my pipe won't go as far back as when the flat sat in there..will it become flatter over time, or should I pound the pipe backwards with a rubber hammer?? I can see that my muffler won't close into the pipe as much as before. 2.3 mm maybe. am I overthinking this?
