    Default whats the trick?

    seems i can only get one side or the other, not much room with the muffler right there and can only use one hand. How do these both go onto the rubber hanger deal? #15, 16 etc to the mount on the body.

    part 10 and 11 bolt to the body and allow vertical adjustment. loosen the nuts so they slide down. If you loosen them enough, they will tip down and give you some extra space too.

    Wrong! Trick is you have to remove the whole rear bumper...easier than I thought. there is no way to get the clamps over the rubber without total access to one side or the other. You would have to remove the exhaust to have enough room.

    ohhh, i see your question now, I just always unbolt part 14, shove the muffler up and then bolt it back on, the bumper cover will flex enough to one side so you can use an extension with a flex socket.

    Yeah I did mine and my sisters the same way. Pull the bumper edge (left edge) outwards some and use like a 3" and a 6" extension and a deep 13mm socket - worked for me
