An update, with photos.
The patient.
Plan A was a block and tackle. My 17 year old son would assist. He would pull the rope and I would steady the bike until we got it up high enough for me to put the tire in place. He pulled with all his might and... nothing moved. With 2 pulleys at the bottom, it divides the force need by 4. If we say the bike weighs 1,000lbs, and we're trying to pick up one half that's 500lbs. divided by 4 is 125lbs. of force. He only weighs 120lbs.
Plan B. Add the floor jack underneath and use the block and tackle to keep it upright. This proved to be a winner. Putting a 2x3 just behind the exhaust cross over, I was able to pick up by the trailing arms.
I've gotten the driveshaft hooked back up. Changed the diff oil. axle back in place. I need to figure out where these clips go in the rear caliper.
:thanks:
Once the brakes are back I'm just waiting for shock bushings. I think this one's done.
