Replacing clutch, dropping axle?

Is it really nessecary to remove the coil dampeners and torque arm in order to drop the rear axle when pulling the tranny back to replace the clutch?

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....

Car: 1989 Firebird Formula

Engine: Internal Combustion

Transmission: Completed

Axle/Gears: ones that turn.

No, just unhook the torque arm bracket on the tranny. If you have your jackstands under the frame ahead of the rear LCA's you can then push the arm up out of the way by hand.

Agreed. There's no reason to drop the torque arm....just take it loose at the front and let it swing up against the floorpan.
