suggestions on putting back the rear subframe?

i've got the rear subframe off on my TII

my god is it one heavy piece of steel.. it's gotta be at least 2-300 lbs


getting it off was the easy part..

how on earth can i put it back?

I just need the car to be a roller again...


i'd really rather not break it down completely just to put it back on the car..

You can chain it to the perch on a hydraulic jack to take the weight off, then muscle it into place by sliding the jack on the floor. Leave all the fasteners loose until the frame is completely in position, then tighten them in a few steps.
