+1 also a pair of needlenose will pull it right out. The trick to putting the new ones is... just put a thin coat of grease on the outer part of the seal. I was a bit sceptical about it at first but it makes it super easy to slide them in and the grease will burn right off. I heard this trick from a seasoned HD tech.

Brett,
I am watching for your opinion of the Big Radius's. Been on the fence whether to get a set or not. My wife is on the bike with me 90% of the time and wondering about the noise. They sure look great.
I am up the road in Dothan this week visiting the parents maybe I'll here them from here! LOL

Buy some carb or break cleaner and clean the sooted exhaust gasket area part of the head before you install your new SE gaskets, this will help the new gasket slide into place.
Grease and extreme heat do not mix....

Well, I got the old ones out, new ones in, new map loaded, then I find out FEDEX won't be delivering 'til tomorrow.....sweet....that's OK, I may need to go out and grab a new exhaust gasket, the front one had a soft spot and got a little boogered up Not bad, but my luck it will be just enough to leak. I will try the freezer trick next time
