-- Wheels off - driveshaft out - un-hook the brake line & emergency brake cable - un-bolt U bolts - Place floor jack under the center section of the rear -- swing the rear free of the springs ( OR - drop the springs as per post #8 & 9 )-- pull it out from under the car, while it is balanced on the jack. -- Reverse the order when putting the new one in. -- This assumes that You are working on the floor, with the car supported on jack stands. -- I have done this, several times, while working alone. The rear will balance on the floor jack nicely. --
