Well, I knew it was time to do some body bushing work, and didnt anticipate breaking the blessed bolts off, they were rusted to shit, and I guess I am not surprised. Well, so I thought I would run through the check list of items to take loose to allow me adequate room to lift the body off the frame 8 or so inches so I can get to the broken bolts. I do have one frame repair to perform on passenger side #6 so may as well do that work while the body is separated. I have performed complete frame off restore projects, but never one with the engine and trans and clip still on the car. So here is my checklist. See if anything is forgotten.
Unhook:
Light and engine harness
FMIC intercooler pipes
Transmission linkage
Emergency brake cables
Bumpers
Battery cable
Radiator coolant hoses
Steering midshaft
AC lines
Battery and cable
Brake lines
Heater hoses
ECM harness
Engine ground straps and anything attached to the firewall
Driveshaft loop
Fuel tank
Now, since only the #6 mounts need attention maybe I could jack up the back of the car since the mounts that need attention are in the back and have enough room to make the repair??? Anyone done this?
This would allow me to unhook ALOT less in the engine bay..
