You should have more than enough clearance to work on the rear breaks. If you don't then you're doing it wrong 
Edit: Oh geeze I didn't see that it was the '87. I thought it was the w123. I want to guess that you can still jack the car up my the differential but i am just not familiar with your vehicle. |
Hmmm ... the same may be true of the w124. I knew you could jack it up by the diff, but was unaware of the subframe jackpoints. I'm guessing it's in my FSM, or someone else can chime in. If that's the case, I can focus on the other stuff and then worry about the bodywork. In all honesty, now might not be a bad time for the bodywork anyway. That way I'll have it all nice and ready to go for spring.
