first time rear end swap

Finished the job today after spending the morning doing Easter stuff. At 5:00 we got kicked out of the shop, but we had done everything by then except bleed the brakes. I drove the car out of the shop using only the parking brake and parked in the boatyard outside. When we went to bleed the brakes we discovered that the left rear spring shackle was inverted so it was pushing the spring up against the trunk pan. Too bad the shop was closed! At that point our only option was to go home (in the other car) and come back with a floor jack. We were able to flip the shackle by jacking up the car by the frame rail, then holding the shackle down with a pry bar while lowering the car. There's only a dime-sized dent in the trunk pan.

We finished bleeding the brakes just as it was getting dark. I think there's still a little air in the system, and I'm pretty sure my inverted flares are all crap (had to tighten the fittings a lot more than I think I should have had to). But I can deal with all that stuff. The big job is done, and the car looks way more bad-*** than it did. I'll get some pix up tomorrow.

On the drive home I noticed a creaking sound coming from the area of the front of the passenger-side spring. I wonder if I need to tighten the bolt on the eye bushing? Or it could have been coming from the shock on that side?
