im thinking about removing rear beam/wishbones/ diff etc, for a tidy up, and fit new bushes!
is it an easy job to do?
which order do i start removing bolts?
cheers shaun
Yes easy job, just a bit long winded, need a trolley jack, and a extra pair of hands wouldn't hurt.
I would detach rear shocks(lower), disconnect e brake cable, prop, brake lines, abs wires, then diff mount and beam mounts, must be something I forgot but that's about it.

when i changed my beam i didnt take shafts off diff,dropped whole lot out then stripped down as little as possible,however did have to disconnect shafts last week to put another diff in and did bushes at same time,should manage ok to get arms off leaving diff and shafts on hoop bit,bushes came out remarkably easy with an old void bush thing for a cortina i think it was,that was the standard bushes,ive chanced putting the hard black powerflex bush in the outer ones,my inners are rose jointed.alot of people recommend the standard trailing arm bushes,ggr sells them about 80-90 quid each i think.
