You're going to need a very long screwdriver or pry bar for both tasks. Place your pry bar on the rear muffler hanger, passenger side, and just pry it over until you can slide the muffler off of it. Once it is off you can then move the muffler over from driver to passenger side and get it off the other hanger. With the center muffler it get a bit tougher but you will be doing the same thing more or less. Prying the muffler off of the rubber donut. Putting it back is a PIA. IIRC there are 2 hangers. What happens is once you get one on there it makes it tougher to pry the other one on. You will need to find a spot under the car to leverage you pry bar and slide the muffler onto the hanger. If you only get one on there it will hold.GL.
