Thanks Steve.

I had the front on the ground at all time.

I raised the whole back and then proceeded with the steps. I got all the way with both except connecting the axles and braces while the entire rear was in the air. I connected the left axle and brace and lowered. Actually lI connected the left brace before doing the left axle if it matters. Immediately moved onto right. Connected axle and then tried to put on brace. Brace wont go on.

As I mention, it was a bear to get off.

Not sure it would matter but when the IMS was done (500 miles ago), the mechanic left a few nuts and a bolt off that I realized at home. I think a nut was missing on the brace, one on the mount that supports the tranny (At rear of car - hangs down) and some other bolt I didn't realize. I noticed at home after 500 miles or so and drove back to shop which the nuts were then added.
