Everything else is pretty easy to figure out. I installed the N1 in sections, losely connecting them to the hangers and each other before aligning them and torquing them up. You have to re-use the OEM gasket and bolts/springs that connect to the cat (the very front of the section you'll be working on).
I would advise having a 2nd person to help you, but it isnt necessary.

Make sure you're using the silicon spray version of WD-40 and not regular WD-40. That will cause the hangers to crack over time.
I just do it by hand and no tool is needed if you use a lubricant on the hangers.
