I've taken two bolts off that are on the back of the caliper- one regular one, one with the knob on the end.....

what else to get the caliper off?

I think his rear sway bar link is broken, and he removed the remains of the lower ball.

A 5ft cheater bar? Yikes!!!! maybe back east you do. out West, we just use a 18in breaker bar & or a 1/2 inch ratchet to break the 50Cal bolt loose.

Those are some good threads Army posted.

Here is what I wrote on removing the rear suspension.

It seems harder to do the job reading through the posts, than actually doing it.
afterward you will say, "That was a piece of cake".

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

yes- that's where the sway bar attaches- the bolt with the knob on the end-

Wow- just looked through the links you gave me.
This forum is awesome.
I'll probably have to post as I'm doing it- whenever I do do it- hopefully soon.

Any advice on how to get pics to post here? It would really help.
I've never had any luck at uploading pics.

When you clock on post reply you'll see a box for your text.

Scroll down the page a bit until you see Additional options - there is an orange button on the left called "Manage attachments".

You then get a pop up window (so you might get grief from your browser - allow pop ups from peachparts.com)

Then click on the browse button to find the file - sorry this is as far as I can help - I have no idea where you put the pictures!

Army- that's the steps I've taken- pretty sure I did everything properly- fairly computer savvy-
Not sure- will try again when needed- will just email pics like Hunter said if it doesn't work.
Thanks.
