To replace the Trailing Arm, one first needs to raise and support the vehicle, after which the tire and wheel should be removed. Use a suitable jack to support the lower Control Arm and unbolt the brake pipe bracket retaining nuts and remove the brake pipe bracket from the mounting studs. Secondly, undo the lower Control Arm to the knuckle mounting bolt and the Trailing Arm to the knuckle mounting nut and bolt. Attach the frame to a suitable jack, unload the rear frame of the vehicle's front bolts, and lift and support the front of the vehicle's rear frame. Then, undo the Trailing Arm to the rear frame mounting bolt and nut before removing the Trailing Arm. Installation starts with the installation of the Trailing Arm and then the Trailing Arm to the frame mounting bolt and nut torqued at 90 nm (66 ft. Lbs.). Take away the support from the frame and put it into place before placing the front bolts at the rear frame and tightening it to 265 nm (195 ft. Lbs.). Second, install the Trailing Arm to the knuckle mounting bolt and nut, and tighten the bolt to 175 nm (129 ft. Lbs.). Mount the brake pipe bracket on to mounting studs and fasten them by the means of the standard hexagon nuts and tighten them to the standard torque of 10 nm(89 inch lbs.). Mount the lower Control Arm to the knuckle and tighten the lower Control Arm to the knuckle mounting bolt to 175 nm (129 ft. Lbs.). Finally, tire and wheel install and lower vehicle.
