I posted to this yesterday and then couldn't find it. Sorry to ask with two posts.
The clamps on the U bends should be easier to remove, just spray liberally with your favorite penetrant, Kroil PB blaster etc. While that is soaking remove the lower wire support and the bolts on the cats. Loosen and slide the clamps off the U bend pipes onto the muffler inlets. You don't HAVE to remove the U bends but it will make things easier if you do. Go up between the muffler and the back of the trans and remove the 2 nuts on the bracket In my picture. The bolts are attached to the metal hanger strap so you do not need to have a back up. Roll the top of the muffler to the rear and it will drop out.

edit: You will need a 3/8" ratchet and some good Deep sockets. I like 6 point sockets for exhaust work.
