proper clever Steve I see your genius and like your style.
a man once said to me that mechanics is just about solving problems. putting the bits in the right place is the easy part.

Did you try stabbing yourself in the neck?

Otherwise the jack solution is adequate.

You should thank me, you never made that mistake again did you?

I'm a good teacher!

I did that job in a scrappy with another car underneath.

Sure you will need to drop the back box to get the bolt out. Doesn't need to come off, just whip it off the mounts and swing on it.

Near side is free to leave I think.

Have you tried jizzing on it? If not then just buy a new s/s exhaust? Or remove the Old one, repair it and give it a nice powdercoat finish?
