Don't forget the new hoses in the trunk ;-)

Karl or others:
Since Karl has recently done this, I think he has most of the answers.
I am fixin ta take out the rear subframe of the 124 2.5. As I
recall, I have to take out the exhaust, driveshaft rear flex, sway bar
links, shocks, brake calipers, ABS Sensor in Diff., parking brake
cables, and of course, the 4 main subframe bolts. Am I missing anything?
As I recall, the diff has 2 big bolts at the back (10mm allen I think)
and 2 smaller bolts at the front. I think these are all into the
subframe. Is that right?
What is the best way to lower the unit? I hope I can balance it on
the floor jack while I roll it out from under.
More important, what is the best way to raise the subframe back up
into position? Will I need stacks of blocks or an extra person to
help balance it on the jack as it goes up?
Need to replace the rear brake lines, brake hoses, possibly calipers,
Rt wheel bearing, parking brake cables, weld up some rusted holes in
the body, patch others, derust, clean and paint subframe, and probably
replace the links. May need to replace the park brake shoes while
there. (YUK)
It has no antislip, so single brake line to the rear, and a T. I
only need to replace the lines from the T out, and the hoses.
