How hard is it to remove? Can someoen point me to the page its on in the shop manual. I can't find it.

Thanks

 

be more specific.

Are you talking about the tunnel bracing, i.e. the one right in front of the diff?

 

I think he's talking about the entire rear subframe.

You can pull it with diff, axles, brakes and suspension, but it'll be HEAVY.

Otherwise I'd probably do it this way. This is from memory, use your head, don't follow instructions to the word.

Pull rear uprights, leave the brakes on them. Unbolt the toe link, upper and lower control arm from the uprights. Leave axles in them also. Pop axles out of diff, pull axle/upright assy.

Undo driveshaft bolts from the diff. Undo PPF from diff. Undo E-brake cable from top of diff. Undo the two long bolts from the diff mount. Drop diff, 80-90lbs. Probably a good idea to drain the diff first, if you tip it over all the nasty oil will leak out.

OK, undo brake line that is attached to rear subframe. Undo the bolts that hold the upper shock mount to the body. Undo the bolts that hold subframe to the body. Catch subframe, it isn't really that heavy.

Good luck!
