Remove and replace Jag-based rear suspension
These instructions are to be used in conjunction with the assembly
manual.
-
Use a jack under the differential to raise the rear of the car. Support
with jackstands under the main chassis rails just forward of the rear suspension.
You will need a minimum of 16" clearance under the rear body edge (or
the spare tire well on the FIA) to remove the assembly to the rear.
-
427 only - Remove the fuel tank:
Disconnect the main filler at the connection inside the trunk.
Disconnect the fuel line at the pickup at the rear of the tank.
Disconnect the fuel sender connection.
-
Drain the differential lubricant.
-
Remove the seats.
-
Remove the access panel behind the seats.

line.

Lower slightly, disengaging the upper mounts. Then pull the assembly
back while lowering slowly.

Replacement is done in the reverse order.
