Not really... In lieu of removing the exhaust you can:
1. Remove the diff (this can be done without pulling the exhaust - I did it
last summer - although replacement of the diff with the exhaust in place
would be quite a challenge - I pulled the exhaust prior to replacing the
diff)
2. Remove the gearbox. This is the most involved of the three.
Not sure from your post but I suspect you are trying minimize the
"removing". In which case the exhaust is the easiest of the three parts
above to remove. I used plenty of Mopar Heat Riser solvent (Chrysler dealer
item) to free the pipes under the gearbox. It took a few days (of
intermittent spraying and light knocking) but it finally gave way. If your
exhaust system is stainless, the task should be much simpler.
Good luck,
