Angry Stupid exhaust gasket!!

Anyone who needs to change the doughnut gasket that goes in between the cat and manifold, do yourself a favor and have someone to help you! I just spent two hours trying to figure out ways to get the spring compressed enough to get the nut on Surprisingly, it seemed like after I had a beer, I finally got it Almost forgot to add, I was working in the dark.

My car has been extremely loud for about a month now because I have been to busy to change this gasket, but now that it is done and quiet, it sounds like a new car! I missed the distinct sound of the Volvo 5 cylinder with out the loud exhaust over powering it
