Advice needed on replacing exhaust please .

[naylor04]

Hiya guys, after much adoo i'm replacing the front section of my 2pce exhaust on my Sport this weekend, can anyone give me some do's and donts on this procedure as i havent got a clue what i'm doing or what tools i need ? bearing in mind i'm no mechanic, and have little tools .
I have trolley jack and socket set, WD40, spanners and bloody strong arms !!!!! Can i do this job alone if the car is jacked up with me underneath ?
The rear section of my 2pce is a Scorpion DTM stainless jobbie and its only been on the car for 2yrs so the bolts should hopefully come loose quite easily, its the bolts up at the very front end i think i should worry about (the down pies area bit that fixes onto the engine ??).
Any help will be greatly appreciated fellas !!!!!

Firstl no no to working underneath with just a jack , use axel stands or ramps ( suitable SWL ) Prepare to have to replace the bolts from the down pipe to the centre section ( you may get them off ok but better to be prepared if the car is your only form of transport ) I've taken off a few down pipes from the manifold andyou can expect 1 dodgy one , use the longest extension bars you can find and make sure you use the correct size socket to the nut Don;t worry if a stud comes of with a nut as you're undoing them as you should be able to reuse that one again
