how does everyone get the exhaust out? mine is completely undone and cant get it over the diff ive jacked the car up using heaps of different jacks but none have got high enough, its pissing me off coz i hit a bump and put a massice crack in my exhaust just before the diff.... so yeh angle grind the bastard? i dunno, any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

you tried a hydrolic jack under the diff?
then chuck it on some stands

jack the car up by the diff with a trollie jack then put stands under both sides of the car at the jacking points (not on the back axle) if there still isnt enough room undo the bottem bolt on the shockies and then it will drop the axle alot more and there should be enough room then if not angle grinder is fun

iv tryed b4. u have to cut it just b4 the diff. and u have to have the car jacked up NOT by the diff so that the diff hangs down and u can pull the rear 1/2 out over the diff
