its only 2 bolts mate and three rubbers that the hangers go on......

Basically, get under car spray some WD40 on to the two bolts that hold the back box to the centre section... then remove the two bolts and spray a little WD40 on to the rubber mounts, as it makes it easy to remove them.... then remove the exhaust off the mounts...

You may need a new gasket, if you do then you can buy them from www.grahamgoode.com

fitting is reverse of removal..

...or instead of the gasket, just use the gloop from Halfords, etc. that seals under heat. Works well for the mid/back connection. And is cheaper & 1 tube lasts a lot of changes
