    Question Removing front leading arms and panhard rod

    Any tips or tricks to removing the leading arms from the front chasis to the front differential and the panhard rod?
    Just jack it up, undo the bolts and remove them? Or do I need to do it one at a time in order to keep the suspension square or something?
    I'm fitting Nolathane Caster Offset bushes and an adjustable panhard rod for the suspension lift.

    Yes one leading arm at a time and you will still need a big lever to get the bolts back through. With offset bushes it will be a bit harder to do also as you will have to remove one bolt in the other side then turn the axle to fit the camber correction bolt. It will be tricky if you are by yourself.

    Panhard rod is not an issue but leave it on while you have the others off to help keep the axle in position.

    Chassis jack the vehicle
    remove the shockies and the springs
    then unbolt everything remove the locating arms
    press in your new bushes and mount the arms to the chassis
    roll the axle over the arms
    bolt everything into place

    Be careful of the brake lines if you dont uncouple them, block them if you do
