I'm just in the middle of an engine drop (see thread below) but wanted to post this issue separately to also reach those for advise who might not read my other thread (
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=256420).
While having the tranny out of the car (73.5) I wanted to turn around the rear trailing arm bolts (inner banana arm bolts), so I can remove them next time without lowering the tranny. However it looks as if the bolts are too long to get them in reversed (nuts to the inside). I tried from all angles, but anything short of widening the holes in the chassis mounts (which of course is no option) seems not to help. At the moment the trailing arms are still connected to the hub and spring plate, so I can't move the arms around too much. I was wondering if it is possible to get the bolts in, after the trailing arms are disconnected from the hub and spring plate and can be moved freely. As this would add a brake bleeding job and a rear wheel alignment to my task list, I would hate to try and find out it does not help. Anyone has experience in this issue ?
