Hi All,
I am having one heck of a time getting the wire mesh exhaust gaskets installed in my 2005 Ultra. Got the old ones out and cleaned up the port surfaces. Getting the new ones in has proven difficult. I tried to keep them square with the port but they just don't fit. It docent help they are fragile. I am afraid to tap on them very much so I don't distort them. This is on the rear port ... can't wait to try the front cylinder port (even less room to work.)
Any of you know any tricks to make these go in easier. If I can't get them in I will order a set of high performance copper gaskets and see if they go in any better.
Thanks;
Steve
