it always helps to have someone hold the end can/silencer whilst you pop the front on the manifold. I just changed my gaskets and nuts this weekend as it was blowing from the front, very easy job. The copper grease to stick the gaskets in the manifold trick is a good one!
Once its aligned with the manifold you can put the rear bolts in (under the footpegs) to hold the exhaust in the right position whilst you torque up the new stainless nuts. If you use copper grease on the threads make sure to re-torque the nuts up a week later as they can sometimes slip a little in the first few days.
