Removing Rear End/Torque Arm
Once the rear end is free, will the torque arm simply pull out of its bracket?

its a little easier if you loosen the one bolt holding the little "clamp" closed..
but ive done it before without doing that. a lil extra grease helps.

Just don't let it soak...

Hey this would be a great time to put in an Energy Suspension polyurethane torque arm bushing... it made a noticeable improvement in the way my car drove- even just going straight!
