How do I refit an Exhaust to a Nissan Micra 988cc 1982?

I have removed and old exhaust from my Micra - as some of the brackets were damaged.
I have a new exhaust to fit, but, I can not get the back part to fit. There is no way to easily manipulate the exhaust around the back axle & struts.. Each way I try it seems that there is just not enough room for clearance.
The old exhaust came off after some persuassion - but it was missing one bracket from the rear silencer and this made it easier to fit....
Any ideas? - or better still anywhere I can see pictures of fitting??

Many thanks

Happy New Year To ALL
