If you can't fix it by working through the hatch under the rear seat then exhaust and some suspension components have to come out.
Thats why they installed the access hatch.

i read through those directions once in the Haynes book. Rear subframe, exh and maybe drive axles, can't recall precisely, i'll look it up if you need.
