Great post, surely it helps. Thanks for sharing the pictures as well.

I actually started on this, but can not remove that bolt on #27!!! Don't understand why it is so hard!!

The bolt that holds the retaining plate on? If I remember correctly, that bolt threads into the frame, and there might be a jam nut behind the frame. Some cars have the jam but, and some don't. I've heard some people break the bolt trying to get it loose, not knowing the jam nut is there.

Reading the earlier posts, was I supposed to jack up the car a bit? I have the rear wheels on ramps.

Yikes! Sorry I didn't reply sooner (28 mins?). Hopefully the head snapped clean off, and you can bring the bolt out from the other side. Jacking the car up would take some weight off the trailing arms. Probably not a bad idea, but I'm not sure if it's necessary. The vendor should have provided some instructions... but that's another topic.
