    I have taken my Yoshi can off a couple of time but when it comes to putting it back on the springs are bloody hard work, long nose pliers and skin off of my knuckles every time. Is there an easier way to get these on?

    I just put my baffles back in for a while, its not the police I have a problem with its the ringing in my ears when I get home and that's with ear plugs ;-)

    I use a ty wrap in a loop then cut it off once the spring is on... Or just buy a spring puller there about £5 :)

    Do you really have to take the springs off in the first place?
    I have fitted, removed and re-fitted my Yoshi as a whole piece, without removing the springs.
    Yes it is possible ')

    That's the way I do it too ... Saves buggering about lining it all up again.

    I just wanted the end can off to get to the baffle bolt. Job done, 5 minutes and a pair of long nose pliers, it was easier than I remember I guess the springs have weakened over time.

    Try over stretching them a little first.
