Blasted... Part 4

With line wrenches in hand, I set about finishing up dropping the rear end assembly from under the Tomato. I removed the brake line from the brake hose, removed the hose clip and then freed the brake hose from the crossmember...

With the brake line free, using an impact and open end wrench, I unbolt the upper and lower control arms from the frame mounts and lowered the axle assembly to the floor...

I then slid the assembly from under the car and placed on 3 jack stands for further disassembly and service.

That's all for this installment.

Until next time...

Blasted... Part 3

Well today the ole girl finally got into position, lost her wheels and the rear end started coming out. I got the springs, shocks, parking brake cables and the sway bar unhooked and ready for the big drop only to discover that I had my line wrenches at home in my other tool box, so about 90% of the rear is ready for removal. Here are a few pics of today's progress.

The new jackstands in position and the wheels and ramps removed....

and I got under her...

and started removing the rear suspension...

So hopefully next weekend with my line wrenches in hand, I can break loose the brake hose, remove the control arm hardware and roll the rear end out from under the Tomato.

Until next installment...
