The bolts aren't that tight, but you really need to be laying under the car to loosen them. go to walmart and buy a cheap floor jack and stands for $30.

Get some ramps for $40 or so at the auto parts store and back up on to them. Should give you clearance to work in the middle. Trust me, the "H-pipe clamp trick" will work.
It will work, but be careful. it doesn't take much force to slam your tip into your bumper. I'd recommend two people, one to turn the pipe and one to tighten the bolts when it's in position.

Always a good idea to have two there -- although I did it alone, I used my feet to align the axlebacks!
