- unbolt sway bar from the cradle (NOT the end links)
- disconnect vacuum line going to the actuator
- loosen muffler clamp
- remove the bolts that hold the muffler hangers in place
- Rotate muffler while guiding the pipe around/over the transmission
- remove muffler hangers from the muffler and move to the new one (or leave in place if re-using)
Very easy on a lift. Most say you need at least 18" of height if you're doing it on jackstands.
