Hi all,
I have a 2004 986 S and am trying to remove the muffler.
I have removed the bumper, loosened all the clamps and sleeves on the u-pipes but I can't physically get my hands up to remove the top two nuts which are behind the bolts in the centre of the hanger, which are not even visible.

Is there a trick to this or is there another way of releasing the muffler?

Would loosening the allen key bolts on the silver cylinders work?
Thanks in advance.
