I picked at mine with an awl. Some folks say they screw a sheet metal screw in a bit then tug them out, but I was afraid of nicking the head.

For a really great set of installation photos, go to the BubClub website.
You can also go to VTXOA.com, and there are TONS of Bubs folks on there.

You won't beilieve it when you fire them up. Make sure you windex them good to get all fingerprints oof before you fire it. Don't confuse the spiral rings that hold the pipe to the head with the crush gaskets. You need to resude a couple of the stock bushings to install them, so don't pitch anything.
Good Luck.P
