Remove Old Brackets

Raise the rear end of the vehicle and place jack stands underneath the axles. Make
sure to chock the front tires to prevent the car from rolling. Undo the dog bones from
the triangular clevis Mount. Unfasten the 4 nuts that hold the old bracket. You may
discard the “c” shaped bracket, the triangular clevis bracket, and the dog bone end
links.

Repair Cracked Floor Pan if Necessary

Your floor pan may or may not be cracked. Check to see if the floor pan is exhibiting
any cracking particularly on the upper section of the floor pan. If it is, it will need to be
repaired before proceeding further. Please have an experienced welder patch up any
cracking you have. Grind down any high spots in the weld and spray paint the area to
avoid rusting.
