I'm at work, I usually don't check the pm's much...

Two pipe wrenches will get the driveshaft nut loose -- get big ones, it's large.

To lower the exhaust, you need only support it and remove the rubber loops -- one at the pipe to front muffler connection (large, goes up across both pipes) and four on the rear muffler. The whole exhaust will then droop down.

You will also need to drop the center driveshaft support bearing if you have one, otherwise the driveshaft won't pull back far enough.
