: removing rear end....sequence ? Texas70 Dec 29th, 03, 6:18 PM I am ready to completely remove the rear end and control arms from the car. What is the best (proper) sequence of removal ? :confused: http://users.ev1.net/~jaaustin/chevelle/rear_end.jpg drptop70ss Dec 29th, 03, 7:25 PM jack up rear, remove shocks, disconnect ebrake cables, disconnect brake hose, lower rear, remove rear springs, then remove control arms.

Thanks Dave !! Guess what I'm doing today :D TronDD Dec 30th, 03, 9:44 AM Have fun. Taking it out isn't too tough. Putting it back in can be a pain. Trying to wrestle the rear end around to line up bolt holes. smile.gif At least you have the body off. I was lying on my back. Tim.

Another person around to help muscle that thing around is a benefit. ;) dukejoh Jan 1st, 04, 11:55 PM Be sure to turn on the oxygen and the acetylene, then strike....instant blue tip wrench :D Caleb 69boo307 Jan 2nd, 04, 10:01 AM as with most things, taking it apart is much easier than getting it back together again :D | ||
