Make sure the car is safely up in the air.

You will need a long extn to get the two nuts off the cat to manifold. Watch out when you are underneath and withdrawing the extensions( I use a ten inch plus a five inch) that the socket doesn't drop on your nose!

You need to unplug the lambda sensor from the loom at the side of the gearbox. Take care not to damage the wiring of the sensor when you are wrestling the Cat out from under the car. You will need to re use it in the new cat. The sensor unscrews from the cat. 

Some plus gas on the nuts/bolts before helps.

The exhaust is clipped in place with small circlips on the hangars

Hope that helps
