08 vert axle back install nightmare-HELP!
Shiny new Mac's sitting on my garage floor. Can't get my drivers side OE muffler off though. Issue is this: Drivers side muffler has two rubber hangers. Rear one comes off easy, both bolts easy to get to. Forward one is a proving to be a complete *****. One of the hanger bolts is directly above the muffler, and for love nor money I cannot get a wrench in there to save my life. In case it matters, it's a convertible. Has anybody with an '08 had this problem, and if so, how did you get the **** drivers side muffler off? Everybody says it's easy to put an axle back on, but I am completely stumped. Oh, and if anybody who lives near Chelmsford, Mass wants to swing by and help me the beer and pizza is on me.

Yes, that bolt is a pain in the a$$. You need to get a ratcheting wrench, not a regular wrench and pull down on the muffler to get the wrench up there. I know this doesn't help much, but just letting you know it is a pain, but can be done.

i don't drink beer and i had pizza for dinner,but i would have no problem helping out another mustanger. but you are just a little ways away from me. i was able to get at mine and didn,t remove anything other than the mufflers clamp and hangers. i think if it is left to the last thing to take off you can the get to it.

Appreciate the suggestions. They're in. What a miserable experience. Minor leak on the passenger pipe that must be dealt with, but mean as hell, and I know what they mean by DRONE!
