An improved back reamer for horizontal directional drilling is provided with multiple components which can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled before and after the back reaming process. The reamer includes a main shaft connectable to the drill string, a reamer head removably mounted on the main shaft, and a pull tab removably attached to the main shaft. The components are much lighter than prior art one-piece reamers, and thus improves safety to the installer and operator during the horizontal drilling operation.
