alright, thanks guys, I will try all your suggestions
Of all the "suggestions" I see here, only one addressed the fact that the rear peg hangers have to come off in order to remove the exhaust pipes. The black brackets that support the rear of the pipes attach behind the rear foot peg hangers. Remove the hangers (the foot pegs remain attached to the hangers), then you can pull the exhaust bracket off, being careful not to loose the inner and outer rubber mounts that you will need to reinstall the pipes.
Once you get the rear brackets loosed, you can use the leverage of the bracket to help "turn" the pipes back and forth to work them off the header pipes. Unless you need to re-use the black brackets on some other pipes, there should be no need to remove them from the pipes themselves.
On and off, changing the pipes should not be more than a 10 minute job, excluding time to wipe them down and polish off the finger prints or road grime. It is fairly starightforward. Takes a 13 mm wrench or socket on the clamp bolts, and a 12 mm on the rear peg hanger bolts. And maybe some black silicone high-heat sealant around the header pipes on re-install - just a smear is all you will need.
