See Disconnecting the Battery- Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-3.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, lug nuts on tire and wheel assembly on the side from which the spring is to be
removed. Place chocks at the front wheels and lift the rear of the vehicle with a chain hoist or floor jack. Position
jack stands under the frame crossmember forward of the spring mounting tabs. Lower the vehicle to let the jack
stands support the vehicle
(Figure 9-1, Page 9-3) . See following WARNING.
WARNING
• Lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a suitable lifting device (chain hoist or hydraulic floor
jack) with 1000 lb. (454 kg) minimum lifting capacity. Do not use lifting device to hold vehicle in raised
position. Use approved jack stands of proper weight capacity to support the vehicle and chock
the wheels that remain on the floor. When not performing a test or service procedure that requires
movement of the wheels, lock the brakes.
3. Place a floor jack under the transaxle differential casing to support, but not lift, the drivetrain. Raise it just enough
to relieve tension on the shock absorbers without compressing them.

5. Remove the bow tie locking pin (1) and the clevis pin (2) at the brake lever and brake cable connection, and
remove cable end (3) from the brake lever

bracket (4). See Brake Cable Removal, Section 6, Page 6-12.

absorber
(Figure 9-3, Page 9-4) .

(15) and the U-bolt.
8. Remove the bolt (17) and nut (2) attaching the rear of the spring to the shackle (1).
