I agree with your steps and they are as simple as that.But number 3 where you remove the two nuts from the plate may cause a problem as the bolt heads are facing the rear towards the bumper and cannot be remove without accessing the nuts that are on the other side close to the transmission and difficult to get to without proper tools.That is why I am suggesting removing the two nuts that are at each extremity of the plate that are much easier to get to then removing the muffler.The plate can be removed later with the muffler removed.It is an easy project so don't be afraid to tackle it.I do not do a lot of mechanical work so eveything is a bit of a challenge for me but I am willing to give it a shot.

the long bolts are captive and the nut will (should) come off without putting a wrench or socket to the bolt heads.
