Hi Guys
How much of the rear suspension can I get out in one go, and if not all (which looks unlikely), what is the best way to proceed? Im doing a chassis swap and want to keep things reasonably straightforwards if possible!
Im guessing undo the inboard driveshaft flanges and separate from there.
Edit, please try to ignore the total mess in the garage!
All the best

Zetec+ 2 under const, also 130S. And another 130S for complete restoration. Previously Racing green +2s with green tints. Yellow +2 and a couple of others, all missed. Great to be back 04/11/2021 although its all starting to get a bit out of control.

If not intending to do any work on the suspension units you can unbolt the inner end of the drive shaft, unbolt the inner ends of the A frame and unbolt the top strut lotocone and just take that removed assembly and rebolt onto the new chassis, make sure the bolts for the A frame inner ends go in the right way so they are removable with the body on.

It's a good idea to fit new Frustacone mounts to top of Diff and also Diff Brace.
The Diff Brace is to support Diff Ears and strengthen them.

Hi Brian and Alan
Thank you for the helpful suggestion. The diff bolts had been dropped in from the top, so they will NOT be going back in that way haha.
The Frustacone mounts are new I think but I will double check.
Thanks again
