Changing the silencer - 1.9DG late

[mfunsta]

Is there a trick to this?
I've undone the bolts fastening the silencer to the manifold pipe and undone the silencer straps. There doesn't seem to be enough room to remove the silencer. Do I need to undo the silencer strap brackets as well, before the silencer will manoeuvre under the bodywork?
Any help would be appreciated as its getting dark and I don't want to damage anything with brute force!!

Yep undo the brackets (I have in the past) bit of a jiggle and out she comes..

Take the straps of as well

cheers Gadders I'll fasten the straps back up and have another go
