I second what Sam says-
I had to pull mine off my 2166- as my stopper snapped off. Had to pull PTO to thread a new one back in. While I don't recall having to do anything heroic to get it off- I may have had to use a right angle pry bar just to break loose.
Pulling off the front panel and hood takes max 5 minutes and gives you a dead on view with plenty of room.

I use a 10 MM socket to get them out. The muffler has 3 nuts that hold it to the frame they are just in front of the 2 pulleys under the PTO. Use some power blaster on them. If you twist one or 2 off you can drill and tap the muffler for a bolt. BTDT. pic is a LT2180 but pretty much the same as what your working on.
