stuck exhaust gaskets
I'm in the process of installing a new exhaust system and after removing the stock exhaust, I've found the old exhaust gaskets stuck inside opening.
Has anyone run into this, and what's the easiest way to remove them without doing damage to the engine?

You could use a pick tool, I used a small screwdriver. Think dig

I do it the same way as Ynots; reach in with a bent dental pick and pull. Sometimes you need to work around the gasket

I use a right angle pick tool that came with a screwdriver set from Lowes.
You just force it behind the gaskit and pull.
