If you can get hold of a ramp then I suggest you do, the higher the car the easier it is. Personally when taking your old one off I would leave the centre and BB connected, undo it from the DP, take the BB off it's hangers and the centre will fall off of it's hanger

Putting the other one on I would do it in sections... first center and then BB, should only take an hour tops!

Be careful you don't break the two bolts with springs which hold the centre to the DP. They are reduced diameter under the springs. Use lots of WD40

I'd buy a spare pair just in case. If they're badly rusted the odds are they'll shear, WD40 or not. You don't want to be stuck with the exhaust off the car, one (or two) broken bolts, and no obvious means of getting down to the dealer for some more...

Get a new gasket first

New gaskets are a must..... but saying that if the zorst is new it should be supplied with Gaskets and the spring style bolts! I know the Blitz does!
