Day 2

Hello and good Evening to all. 8:30 pm

I put in 3 1/2 hours or work today and quit around 2:30 pm . I had to stop because of lack of a shock knocker, ( found one tonight) and it was time to stand up.

Goals for today:

Take off rear spring without killing myself
Take off Strut bracket and rods ,
Need shock knocker to remove strut rod from spindle arm
and bracket

I was able to remove rear spring using a simple method of two jacks, one to hold trailing arm and one to compress spring in order to release tension on bolts.

I was also able to remove strut bracket , but had to leave in place until I can remove rods from spindle with shock knocker.

Once strut bracket is removed, I will remove snubber bushing , disconnect drive shaft and make decision on cross member removal/carrier removal to take out rear.

Here are the pictures

Support of spring / TA , jack is holding up shock mount not rotor



Unbolting nut by compressing spring with jack



Lower spring jack and down comes spring freeing bolt



Bolt free of spring and can now be pushed up and out



Spring can now be unbolted from carrier



Spring can now be removed



Shocks are freed from spindle , but left bolted on top



Rear End now free , ready for next days work , once strut bracket is removed when rods are free of shock mounts.



Parts on the floor, good 2 days work (7 hours slow me ) without any broken bolts !
