741/489 case

wrestling the 8 3/4 into place... if you are swapping the whole rear, drop the spring shackles do the back of the springs are laying on the ground, slide the rear end in from the back of the car... bolt it onto the springs (loosely) and go from there....
Thanks, I was refering to getting the assy positioned at the rear of the car on a floor jack. My garage is small and it is beside the car on a stand I made. Thanks for the tip though. I may swap out the leafs as well and raise it into place as one piece.
