Sorry to hear that as pulling the muffler with it on is simple. On the plus side, replacement shouldn't be too hard and is wayyy cheaper than a paint boo boo.

Why not just leave the bracket attached to the muffler and undo the bolts on the back of the gearbox. Looks like you unbolted the bracket from the muffler side on top and left the hanger attached to the gearbox. That's how to get around needing access to the very top of the muffler requiring the bumper to be pulled.

If you can't get those top two without bumper removal don't ever consider becoming a mechanic as these two bolts are duck effing soup compared to many other car access situations.

My manufactured by Yugo shift linkage is in very bad shape, going to see if I can have new ends made.
