Default How to unmount the exhaust from the rubber mount?

I am trying to install the STsuspensions rear sway bar and am stucked
I need the extra room to take out the rear sway bar so I need to unmount the exhaust from the rubber that it hangs on.

I tried prying to screw driver but it is too hard and tight.
Any other idea on how to take out rear sway bar?

Spray a bunch of wd-40 in the mount where it makes contact with the hanger. Try to put a flat head screwdriver in between the surfaces and then slip the mount over the edge of the hanger.

Make sure you got someone or something supporting your stock exhaust... That shiet is HEAVY!

I used dishwashing soap for mine since I didn't have WD-40. Made removal really easy.

I don't think I'd pay for a tool since literally almost any lubricating spray (or dish soap) does the trick with your hands! I tried removing mine dry, not a chance I was getting them off. Tried a little silicon lube spray, quick squirt, and instantly they were off.

I used straight dishwash liquid and a wooden broom handle to pry it off.
A little leverage and it's easy.
