924s rear suspension Beam removal

[gaaz911]

I am stripping out the back end for a refurb and have a query on what holds the suspension beam in, clarks garage shows a bracket that has 2 bolts and holds the banana arm which I cant see on my 924, in my picture the loose nut on the left attaches to a bracket that has 2 bolts holding it is this the bracket I need to remove ? and do I do anything with the bolt on the right ? I have the 2 big chassis bolts loosened and have the brake lines to pop off.

any help appreciated

The one on the top right is the head of the bolt that holds the shock on. That doesn't have to come off but the shock does so either there or where it attaches to the trailing arm needs to be undone.

The smaller bolt and nut directly beneath it also has to come off. That holds the very ends of the big arms that hold the carrier in place.

And the nut on the left has to come off. I don't remember taking those ends off before dropping the entire rear but the bolts do go through the body so they have to come off.

Cheers for that, I had another look at the clarks guide and the PET diagrams, the nut on the left is attached to the bracket that has two bolts (or one in my case one appears to be sheared) which needs to be removed and as you say the bolt on the right needs to come out as it goes through the end of the banana arm.

So got the beam removed fairly straight forward however fair bit of corrosion on the torsion bracket think I will look for replacements beam will be blasted and powder coated, the two retaining brackets disintegrated.
