Did you lower the rear sway bar? If not just unbolt the 2 bolts on each side of the sway bar and rotate the sway bar down. This should give you more room to work. You may also need to raise the rear of the car higher into the air (we had mine insanely high when while putting the Stingers on.

Undo the large nuts that hold the aluminum subframe up. Lower the trans and suspension assy. down a little.
