Default Need Help!!! Installing Thermal Exhaust....Trying to Remove Stock Exhaust from Rubber Hangers.....

Presently in the process of installing my Thermal Street Exhaust system.Got the car on ramps & stands ...I managed to unbolt the the downpipe already...
But the Real Bugger are the middle Exhaust rubber hangers supporting the center split pipe....how did you guys managed to slip out the stock exhaust hanger stem out of the rubber support? the stems on the stock exhaust has a buldged end to keep it from slipping out of the Rubber hanger.....Did you guys managed to muscle it & pop the stem out of the rubber piece...or better just to sawcut the stock exhaust stems off???

holding the hangers to the car?
