Disconnect both transmission cooler lines.
Disconnect rear brakes.
Remove upper rear shock mounting screws.
Remover rear upper a-arm bolts.
Remove torque tube to bellhousing bolts.

ReplyDeleteI have never parked facing downhill and jacked the front of my Chrysler Imperial on a mound of cinder blocks so I could access the farking starter. Nope. Never did anything stupid like that (looks down, scuffs feet, prays wife doesn't read this comment...)
I never used a bumper jack, without any other support, to work under the car.
DeleteNope. Never did.
