36. At this time, you will need to move to the Rear end

installation. Once it is finished and the truck is sitting on the

ground, we will go back and tighten some hardware that has

been left loose on the front.

37. Working on the rear of the vehicle, using hydraulic floor

jack/jacks, raise the vehicle up and place jack stands under

the frame to support the vehicle while the axle is lowered.

Lower the axle so that the load is light on the hydraulic jacks.

38. Working on the driver side, remove the upper and lower

shock mounting bolts, save bolts and hardware for re-instal-

lation. Remove shocks and discard. Repeat on passenger

side.

39. On the driver side of the outer frame rail, you will see a

metal wire type bracket that is holding the emergency brake

cable to the frame rail, remove that bolt and save for re-in-

stallation. This step is performed in order to get enough slack

in the cable to lower the axle.

40. Working on the passenger side, loosen but do not

remove the u-bolt nuts.

41. Working on both sides, detach the clips that are holding

the ABS brake wire to the u-bolts.

42. Working on the driver side, remove the u-bolt nuts com-

pletely and discard. Next, remove the u-bolt plate and set

aside. Remove u-bolts and disard.

43. Carefully lower the down the floor jack enough that the

OE block can be removed. Remove block and discard.
