Are there any tips or tricks to removing any silencer that was tied in?
Unstring the bow and carefully separate the string fibers near the silencer. If the silencer was tied in as well as placed between the main string bundles, find that thinner thread that was used to tie it in and cut it. QED. :)
Move very slowly and make sure of what you're cutting. I've messed up 3 strings being in a hurry and cutting the wrong string.

Can I ask Why you are removing them? Is there a Problem with them? Mine work Great, so I am just askin'.
Just asking for future reference
A good pair of fingernail clippers helps cut stuff like that off the string, especially tied-on string nocks. If you keep the bowstring perpendicular to the blades of the clippers it's virtually impossible to cut the bowstring. I use mine while the bow is strung to keep the string taut and preventing it from getting in between the blades of the clippers. Even superglued tied on string nocks.
If the silencer was tied in then the only way I know of to remove it is to cut the string that it is tied in with and be careful to not cut any strands of the string.
