Changing Muffler (oem to walker)

so any tips on how to change the muffler without a hoist. I got a great price on a Walker muffler, the clamp and apparently there is a gasket. I take it you somehow brake loose the 4 rusted bolts and it all just pulls apart like magic? Any tips welcome? Thanks.

Just jack up the right rear side, unbolt the 2 bolts from the b-pipe, remove the old hangars, pull off the old muffler, insert the new hangars and bolt up the new muffler.

the old hanger(s) have 4 doughnuts that I presume I can use again, you are saying I don't need a new gasket or double clamp, just use the old one along with the other old hangers and doughnuts?

You'll probably need a new gasket where the flanges of the b-pipe and muffler meet, but the rubber "donuts"(if you wanna call 'em that), can be reused.

the nuts are deep into the the thread, so I need to buy a deeper socket. Anyone know that standard size for the 4 clamp nuts?
