You don't have to take it off completely if you just loosen it up from the cradle and lower it that should be enough

I am trying to get my stock exhaust off too and no go. I heard to move it 90 deg. I did drop the sway bar but no go. I will try again tomorrow. 90 to the outside. Good luck. let me know how it goes.

I found it immensely useful to take the bar off. It's not hard to do, and gives you a lot more room to work.
