Couple more questions on rear lowering

[steved0x]

Is the inner eccentric bolt on the lca released? If not that is holding it up. That bolt clamps the rubber bushing, that's why the suspension has to be loaded into when tightening that bolt.

If that bolt is removed, see if the axle is hitting the exhaust. Removing the axle bolts on the transmission side may give you more room.

Yes, only attachment to car is lca to body. One bolt each side.

3 nuts at mount are off. Good tip on the cable. I wouldn't have thought of that.
Here goes.

They were a little greasy. Certainly not dry. I just had the ims replaced 500 miles ago so I hope there is no problems. They look fine. I will clean and use the loctite I have. It's not the super strong stuff. No anti seize then?

Any idea what the weight roughly of the control arm, strut and disc is? I am thinking I can lay on my back and support the lca with one arm and the hold the axle. My friend can then loosen and remove bolt. Slowly lower jack holding arm at disc end up. When the connection on the arm drops below where it connects to the body, turn end slightly toward back to release from trailer arm and the drop.
I guess it comes down to whether 40lbs or less. Not as strong as I once was. I'll have safety blocks all around me.
I am a bit weary of axle banging off exhaust pipes.
Thanks.
