No real secret other than just be careful. I usually support the back end of the side pipe on a cardboard box. I drape a towel over it so I don't accidentally "customize" my paintjob with the rear of the sidepipe. Make sure all of your primary pipes are loose at the head. Backing off each header bolt about 2 or 3 revolutions should do it. The first time I installed them I put a little vaseline on the inside of the sidepipe and on the outside of the primary pipe to get them to slide more easily. Good luck.
