exhaust install problem

I'm installing a stock exhaust in my 91 convertible, I have the car on stands and have removed the old exhaust. what is the easiest way to get the pipe over the rear axle? Do i have to have it on a lift? Does anyone have a easy way for me to do it with it just on stands. Thanks

Re: exhaust install problem

It will be tight, but try putting the jack stands on the sub-frame and let the axle hang. If that still doesn't give you enough room, than unbolt the shocks and the axle will drop even farther, but when you go to put the axle back up make sure the springs are seated right.
