Think I've got it now...looks like the oil filer needs to come off to access the bolt to loosen the exhaust strap bracket
Before I start, it's anti clockwise to loosen isn't it?

As I found mine snapped off, has anyone got pics of how it's mounted for when the new one arrives and do I need to drop the silencer to fit? Ta |

Did you loose the strap that broke? I ask because then you will need the bracket that the strap runs through to connects to a lug on the engine casing at the front. Also there are 2 inserts the sit in the lug which you may of lost as well!!! Scan down this post and you will see! http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Do-It-Yourself-Buell-Mods/How-To-Build-your-own-Exhaust/4/ |

Ha ha forget that I was being a numpty. The bracket is bolted to the engine so of course it didn't fall off !!!!! |

The oil filter doesn't need to come off. |

? My socket will not get in past the oil filter... Just a standard size set, so I guess I need a wiggle bar? |

There is a hex recess in the mount that prevents the nut from turning... |

I was approaching from the other side, with a socket on the nut. Is there an easier way? |

Back away from those tools mate  ........even if you did get a socket on it, you couldn't turn it because it's captive.Undo the cap head from the other side, it's 1/4'' allen. |

Can't seem to download the last photo: http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc26 ... 5b39d4.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc26 ... 2e256f.jpg Can't really make out what the exhaust is but a strap is not going to be happy over that bracket. You should be loosening from the other side, as Maz says, that nut is captive... |
